Farmlite Veda Digestive Biscuits Review

It’s not everyday we come across packaged cookies or biscuits that use Indian herbs and spices. Which is why this Sunfeast Farmlite variant made using five natural ingredients caught our attention. ‘Calories’, ‘protein’, ‘superfoods’ are a few of the many hackneyed words we’ve been hearing around. Herbs, spices, and wholegrains are nutritious powerhouses. Does this mean these cookies are healthy too?

In our Sunfeast Farmlite Veda Digestive biscuit review, we take a look at the ingredient list. What percentage of the natural ingredients is used? Are these cookies tasty enough to keep the 4 pm cravings at bay? What about the texture? Let’s have a look at how these digestive biscuits fared on our rating scale.

Dunking a crisp biscuit in a cup of warm tea is one of the simplest pleasures of life.  Sunfeast Farmlite Veda Digestive biscuits boasts of using natural ingredients like ashwagandha, cardamom, mulethi, ginger, and tulsi. They also contain some proportion of whole wheat. So how would a herb-loaded biscuit taste? Let’s find out! 

1. Ingredients 

Refined wheat flour, wheat flour, refined palm oil, sugar, wheat bran, liquid glucose, maltodextrin, wheat fibre, milk solids, iodized salt, malt extract, ginger, cardamom, mulethi, ginger, and tulsi are some of the ingredients used. 

No more than 0.1 g of each extract has been added. 

2. Taste

We tasted multiple elements in one bite. These cookies are delicately sweet. Similarly, the spice extracts could be tasted but they were very subtle. Cardamom had the strongest presence in terms of taste. 

3. Texture & Colour

The color of baked goods doesn’t just depend on how well-rated the appliance is. It also depends on the ingredients used to make the dough, the proportion and quality of said ingredients. This variant of Sunfeast Farmlite biscuits looked delectable! They had the characteristic brown shade of a well-baked biscuit. 

Texture-wise, these biscuits were crisp. Talking about the oiliness/greasiness, these biscuits felt somewhat dry. These weren’t buttery at all, neither on the fingers nor when we bit into them. 

4. Bite or Mouth Feel

These biscuits felt fibrous. Looking at the ingredient list, we can say the wheat bran and wheat fibre bring this ‘fibrous’ bite.

Here are some interesting FAQs on Sunfeast Farmlite Veda Digestive biscuit.

1. Are Sunfeast Farmlite Veda digestive biscuits healthy?

These biscuits are made of refined flour and contain fats like palm oil and sugar in the form of liquid glucose and maltodextrin. We wouldn’t categorize them under healthy snacks.  That being said, they also have a substantial content of whole wheat flour (atta), wheat bran and ingredients like ashwagandha, tulsi and mulethi. When compared to regular biscuits, these are a marginally healthier option.

2. How many calories are there in a single biscuit?

One biscuit would have approximately 35 Kcal.

These biscuits contain maltodextrin and other raising agents and emulsifiers. Typically, teething snacks for kids are devoid of these ingredients.

Weight loss is a collective effort of a nutritious diet including foods like whole grain, fruits, and vegetables, nuts, and seeds along with a consistent exercise routine. We recommend consulting a certified nutritionist regarding weight loss friendly foods and snacks.
