Lyons' Digestives Wholemeal Biscuits, 14.1 oz (400g)

The British digestive — a semi-sweet wholemeal biscuit built for dunking, and the one a British kitchen is never without. Lyons have been making them since 1938 and the pack still says "Come in, I'll put the kettle on…", which tells you everything about what it is for.

• 400 g — roughly 28 biscuits
• Wholemeal wheat, semi-sweet, not quite a sweet biscuit
• Suitable for vegans
• No artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives · non-GM · no hydrogenated fat

Eating them

With tea, obviously. Also the base of a cheesecake, and the traditional partner to a sharp cheddar — the wholemeal and the salt in them do something a sweet biscuit cannot.

Ingredients

Wheat flour (with calcium carbonate, iron, niacin and thiamin), vegetable oils (sustainable palm, rapeseed), sugar, wholemeal wheat flour, partially inverted sugar syrup, raising agents (sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate), salt.

Allergens

Contains wheat (gluten). No other allergens are declared on the pack.

Keeping them

Cool and dry, out of strong light. Once opened, an airtight tin — they go soft faster than you would like.

Made in the UK by Burton's Biscuit Co.
