On the Internet, it is said that coarse grains have a strong sense of fullness after eating, so the question is, can coarse grain biscuits really help us lose weight? Is whole grain biscuits healthy? Today I have evaluated 6 kinds of coarse grain biscuits, let's take a look at it!
1: Why is it better to eat whole grains?
Compared to refined noodles, whole grains and legumes have more nutrients, such as protein and fiber. Many tubers also contain more antioxidants.
2: Do high-fiber biscuits necessarily have to be coarse grain biscuits?
not necessarily.
Maybe it's the use of refined flour to make a cookie, and then added to the cellulose, and here is also to remind everyone again, for most people, eating dietary fiber is good for health, but the fiber types are different, some people will have digestive problems when they eat it, so it is not necessarily written that high fiber or coarse grains are suitable for you.
3: Can I eat coarse grain biscuits for weight loss?
You can eat anything to lose weight, but it is a matter of quantity.
Everyone should not because a certain food is hung with the words "coarse grains, high fiber, whole grains, meal replacements", etc., it is tacitly assumed that they will definitely be effective for health, no matter what, or look at the nutritional value list. In addition, milk + cookies are definitely the CP that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
4: Is high fiber/coarse grain biscuits necessarily healthy?
We define health here as high fiber, low added sugar, and low fat.
If the fiber content of the product is relatively high, or the proportion of coarse grain and wood is relatively large, then it will definitely have a certain impact on the taste. Therefore, many merchants will add more added oil and added sugar in order to increase the taste, so when choosing, we must not only look at the promotional content on the packaging, but also pay attention to the nutritional value list and the ingredient list.
Second, be sure to give preference to products that do not have trans fatty acids, after all, the intake of such fatty acids will increase the risk of chronic diseases.
At present, it is difficult to know how much added sugar is contained in the nutritional value list, so we can only rely on the ingredient list. The higher the ingredients in the ingredient list, the greater the proportion added. Therefore, the sugars, or related ingredients, are ranked lower in the ingredient list, the better.
Well, without further ado, the review officially begins!

Taste Analysis:
This one smells nothing grainy in taste, but the taste is very crisp, and after chewing, it can obviously eat the bran particles but not rough, the entrance is even and delicate, and the taste is good. It tastes a little sweet, but not too sweet. The disadvantage is that you will feel tired if you don't eat too much, and there will be more obvious oil on your fingers after eating.
Nutritional evaluation:
Although this cookie contains 6 grams of dietary fiber per 100 grams. But usually a biscuit is about 30 grams, and relatively speaking, each serving is only 2 grams of dietary fiber intake, which is not very much. And even if there is no trans fat in this ingredient list, its fat content is relatively high, because the second ingredient is vegetable oil.
In short, if you love the taste of this cookie you can eat, but its nutritional value is not so good.
2. Colao Five Grain Yuanqi Sugar-Free Crispy Biscuits
Wheat flour, vegetable oil, food additives (maltitol, xylitol, phospholipids, ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, dihydrotraum phosphate, sucralose), black sesame seeds, peanuts, maltodextrin, soy dietary fiber powder, rice flour, table salt, white sesame seeds, black beans, oats.
It smells like a more pronounced mix of sesame seeds and peanuts, and there are sesame particles on the surface. The texture is crispy and crispy, and the crispy sesame particles are more unique when bitten. The sweetness is moderate on the taste. The disadvantages are more similar to the first one, it is easy to eat greasy, and a little oil will be left on the fingers, followed by the fact that although the sweetness is not too high, the aftertaste of the sugar substitute is more obvious.
Although no sucrose is added, the sugar substitute product - xylitol is chosen, so the biscuits will still have some sweetness. The second ingredient is vegetable oil, which, similar to the previous product, contains higher fat, tastes ok but has average nutritional value.
3. Slange Fiber Bran No Sucrose Digestion Biscuits
Wheat flour, vegetable oil, food additives [(maltitol liquid ≥17.7%), ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, dibasic calcium phosphate, terbutylhydroquinone], edible wheat bran (≥ 14.0%), eggs (≥4.2%), starch, oatmeal (oats) (≥2.8%), edible salt, cereal (prepared grain products) (≥0.4%), edible flavors.
It smells like a hint of grain, is crispy but not crispy on the palate, and can taste bran, but it doesn't feel as much as the first one. In addition, it is a little dry to eat, and there will be a little bit of grinding behind the plug, the sweetness is not sweet, it will not be greasy.
The product name gives a very healthy feeling, "fibrum" has a very fibrous feeling, no sucrose, can help digestion. However, the ingredients used are refined flour, with some cereals such as oats, but the arrangement is very low. Fiber does help with gut function, but it seems inferior to eat whole wheat bread without added oil, at least with less fat and perhaps more fiber.
4. McVita High Fiber Whole Wheat Digest cake
Whole grain flour, vegetable oil (sunflower oil, palm oil), sugar, leavening agent (sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate), table salt, partially inverted syrup (sugar, glucose, fructose), acidity regulator (DL-malic acid).
The smell can smell a faint grain aroma, the taste is crisp, can obviously eat bran, belongs to several models of the middle rough. The taste is a unique salty sweet, salty taste is heavier, and the sweetness is moderate. It doesn't get greasy to eat, and the taste is one of my favorites.
The fiber content is indeed relatively high, but it still contains added oil and added sugar, but from the perspective of adding fat, it is already much better than the above models.
5. Guyou whole wheat high dietary fiber biscuits
Whole wheat flour 57.5%, sweetener (maltitol), high oleic sunflower oil 16.5%, fructooligosaccharides 3.5%, pea fiber 3.5%, leavening agent (sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate), emulsifier (soybean phospholipids), edible salt, flavouring.
It smells a little bit of wheat, and the taste is crisp and dry and loose. Unlike the previous models, this one does not have a rough texture of bran, the taste is sweet, and the taste is strong in wheat.
The nutritional value list of this product is very finely made, including the type of fat and the sugar content. Dietary fiber is slightly higher than the previous ones, and no sugar is added (there are sugar substitutes). Although vegetable oil is used, it contains fat, but the type of fat can be marked, mainly high-quality fat, so it may make consumers feel more at ease when eating it, in short, among these models, it is the most recommended.
6. Baked breakfast cake - milk cereal flavor
Wheat flour, sugar, whole oatmeal, edible vegetable oil, whole wheat flour, milk powder, polydextrose, whole buckwheat granules, whole barley flour, whole rye flour, food additives (hydroxypropyl starch oxide, sodium bicarbonate, mono and diglycerides diacetylate, disodium pyrophosphate, ammonium bicarbonate, soybean phospholipids, citric acid, pectin), calcium carbonate, edible salt, vitamins (vitamin A acetate, riboflavin), flavors.
It really corresponds to the name of the product, and it smells like milk. The texture is very crisp, and it is obvious that you can eat complete slices of cereal, and the cereal is chewy and chewy. The sweetness is the sweetest of the several, the milk flavor is obvious, but it is not greasy to eat.
The advantage of this one is that there are finally some whole grain ingredients in it, and the fat content has dropped a lot compared to the first one. One thing to note is that its second ingredient is white sugar, although it is impossible to estimate how much is added, but it is not because there are "whole grains" that are healthy foods.
