Plain homemade biscuits are baked cereal products, usually made with flour, fat and sugar. The figures here describe a recipe-based composition, so the amounts in individual homemade biscuits will depend on the ingredients used. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat. Per 100g, they contain 66g of carbohydrate, including 26g of sugars, and 22g of fat, including 13g of saturated fat.
Carbohydrate and fat both provide energy for the body. The sugar and saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring these as part of their overall diet. The amount eaten affects the energy and nutrients consumed. Full nutritional figures, including protein, fibre, salt, vitamins and minerals, are shown in the tables below.
