Healthy Recipe Ideas
No-Bake Parle-G Yogurt Tart
Crush 8-10 Parle-G biscuits to form a base in a bowl. Whisk together 1 cup of hung curd (chakka) with 1 tablespoon of honey until smooth. Pour the curd mixture over the biscuit base. Top with fresh fruits like berries or mango and chill for 1 hour before serving.
Health Benefits
This recipe enhances the snack by adding protein and probiotics from hung curd and vitamins from fresh fruit.
Parle-G Banana & Peanut Butter Sandwich
Dip Parle-G biscuits briefly in a glass of milk. In a separate bowl, mash a ripe banana and mix with a spoonful of peanut butter. Spread the banana-peanut butter mixture on one milk-soaked biscuit and top with another to create a sandwich. Enjoy immediately.
Health Benefits
Adds dietary fiber, potassium, and healthy fats to the biscuits, creating a more balanced and filling snack.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including raising agents (503(ii), 500(ii)), emulsifiers, and dough conditioner (223), are permitted by FSSAI within specified limits. Sodium Metabisulphite (223) can be an allergen for individuals sensitive to sulphites. The artificial vanilla flavor is common but lacks nutritional benefit.

Marketing Claims
The slogan 'G for Genius' is a classic marketing claim that implies cognitive benefits from consumption, which is unsubstantiated and potentially misleading for consumers, especially parents. While glucose does provide energy for the brain, the claim overstates the product's specific benefits. The term 'Gluco Biscuits' is factually based on its glucose content.
