Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its high content of refined flour (Maida) as the primary ingredient, significant sugar content (5.4g per serving), and high saturated fat (2.9g per serving, which is 13% of the daily recommended intake). Despite marketing claims of 'Goodness of Bran', the whole grain content is modest. It is a highly processed snack, not a health food.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Quick Digestive Biscuit Chaat
Crumble 2-3 digestive biscuits on a plate. Top with chopped onion, tomato, boiled chickpeas, and a spoonful of green chutney and tamarind chutney. Garnish with sev and fresh coriander for a quick snack.
Health Benefits
Adds fresh vegetables, legumes, and protein to balance the carbohydrates from the biscuits.
Fruit and Nut Butter Biscuit
Spread a thin layer of almond or peanut butter on a digestive biscuit. Top with slices of banana or apple. Enjoy as a quick, no-cook breakfast or snack.
Health Benefits
Combines fibre from the biscuit with healthy fats, protein from nut butter, and vitamins from fresh fruit.
No-Bake Pie Crust
Finely crush 8-10 biscuits and mix with 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a pie dish to form a crust. Chill for 30 minutes before adding a no-bake filling like Greek yogurt mousse or cheesecake.
Health Benefits
Offers a slightly higher-fibre base for desserts compared to standard refined flour biscuits.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, such as raising agents (INS 500(ii), 503(ii)), emulsifiers (INS 322, 471, 481(i)), and acidity regulator (INS 296), are commonly used in baked goods and are generally considered safe for consumption within the limits prescribed by FSSAI. The presence of sulphite (INS 223) can be a concern for individuals with sulphite sensitivity.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims are questionable. While the product does contain bran and fibre, making the 'Source of Fibre' claim technically true, the 'Digestive' and 'Goodness of Bran' branding creates a misleading health halo. This downplays the fact that the primary ingredient is refined flour (Maida) and the product is high in sugar and saturated fat, making it less healthy than implied.
