There's No Denying The Nation's Favourite Snack
There is no denying it - biscuits are the Nation’s favourite snack! If we trace the shelves of our local supermarket or convenience store, they’ll be a seemingly endless selection of British biscuits in different shapes, sizes and flavours. Whether you’re searching for the perfect tea companion or an assorted selection to impress friends and family, you can rest assured there is never a shortage of choice. They can be coated in chocolate, sprinkled with crunchy nuts or dipped in jam, wafer based or marshmallow stuffed, or simply a plain old digestive biscuit: either way, there will always be a biscuit you can enjoy.
But what exactly makes biscuits so popular and why do so many of us crave the sugary snack, always finding a way so sneak it in to our daily diet rather than a healthy salad? Having been a staple part of British culture for a very long time (they were introduced into society in the 17th century, and haven’t left our kitchen cupboards since), it almost feels as if the craving for a biscuit throughout the day is a natural instinct. It doesn’t matter when, we will always welcome the feeling of wanting to delve into a packet of biscuits. Food cravings reveal a lot about our personal health, with the inner desire for certain snacks providing information on what nutrients, vitamins or minerals our body needs. If you constantly find yourself craving a juicy steak, chances are your body’s salt levels are lower than normal and it’s time to restore the balance. So what does it mean when we find ourself unable to say no to a pack of delicious buttery biscuits?
The answer is we’re simply experiencing a drop in our body’s blood sugar levels and our brain chemicals are trying to tell us it needs satisfying with sugar. On most occasions, we should actually avoid endlessly fulfilling our sugary cravings with a pack of biscuits. Instead, opt for healthier alternatives to reduce the cravings, such as fruit or vegetable snacks. Munching your way through apple or carrot sticks is better for your health… and your teeth! Boosting bloody sugar imbalances with artificial sugar can induce sharp peaks followed by unhealthy decreases, unhelpful for when you’re attempting to concentrate at work or focus on your latest television episode at home.
Yet, there are important occasions when filling your body with biscuits is more than appropriate…. it’s necessary! When a loved one is feeling poorly, you can guarantee sugar will help to boost their energy levels and get them feelings lots better. It is here that the sugar found in biscuits is an important factor in helping a family member or friend’s recovery. This is why many of our Biscuits Hampers are brilliant gift choices for sending on a Get Well occasions!
