Buying biscuits seems simple, but online you will often find major differences in flavour, filling, weight and ingredients. Eye-catching packaging says little about what is inside. A small bag can also work out relatively expensive if you only look at the price per pack.
For Dutch consumers, these are the main pitfalls to watch out for:
Do not just look at the number of bags; check the net weight too. For example, Ulker Halley Mini Biscuit consists of 3 packs of 77 grams, totalling 231 grams. This is practical for lunchboxes, the office or several snack occasions.
For a cupboard staple, a larger pack may make more sense. Ulker Bebe Biscuit contains 800 grams. This size is suitable when several people in the household regularly eat biscuits. Once opened, however, check whether you can seal the pack airtight.
Individually wrapped biscuits are convenient to take with you or hand out. According to the product description, the 93-gram Jiashili Fruity Biscuits are individually wrapped. This makes them practical fruit biscuits for eating on the go, but always check exactly how many portions the pack contains.
A flavour name is no guarantee of a strong or natural taste. That is why you should check the ingredients list and any quantitative indication.
Nikko Matcha Cookies list 0.6% matcha. According to the product description, the biscuits combine matcha with ingredients including cocoa butter, almond powder and milk powder. If you are looking for Japanese biscuits or matcha biscuits, this makes it easier to judge whether the green tea flavour will be subtle or pronounced.
For fans of chocolate biscuits, there are several varieties: biscuits with chocolate chips, a chocolate coating or a chocolate-style filling. Ulker Halley Mini Biscuit has a layer of chocolate-flavoured cream. G’woon Crispy Brownie Chocolate Cookies contain, among other ingredients, chocolate, milk chocolate and cocoa powder.
The difference between a thin layer and a generous filling is also important with filled biscuits. Franzzi Coconut Latte Flavoured Filled Cookies combine a crisp exterior with a soft coconut- and coffee-flavoured filling. According to the brand’s own product information, this variant contains 26% less sugar than the regular range. This is a comparison within the brand, not a general nutritional claim; check the current packaging for the full details.
In the European Union, important allergens must be clearly indicated in the ingredients list. Look out in particular for gluten, milk, egg, soya, peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts and sulphites. If in doubt, always follow the information on the packaging.
Daliyuan Hao Chi Dian Crispy Almond Cookies state that they contain 8% almonds, but according to the product information they also contain peanuts, milk, wheat and sulphites. This is important for households where someone has a nut or other food allergy.
Compare nutritional values per 100 grams, not just per biscuit. For example, according to the product information, Nikko Matcha Cookies contain 582 kcal and 43 grams of sugar per 100 grams. Festival Lemon Flavour Cookies list 442 kcal and 34 grams of sugar per 100 grams. These figures are useful for comparison, but do not say anything about how much you will ultimately eat.
The right choice depends on your taste, the number of people eating and when you want to serve the biscuits. Below are four options with verifiable product details.
Why it suits this profile: A compact pack of crisp biscuits with blueberry jam for anyone who wants to try different international flavours without committing to a large pack straight away.
The 93-gram net weight and nutritional values per 100 grams are clearly stated. According to the product description, the biscuits are also individually packaged.
Blueberry jam, a portable format and 476 kcal per 100 grams according to the product information.
Why it suits this profile: For anyone looking for a Japanese flavour and a biscuit to enjoy with tea. According to the ingredients list, matcha, cocoa butter and almond powder create a distinctive flavour profile.
The matcha content of 0.6% is clearly stated. This makes it easier to align your expectations of the flavour with the product information.
Japanese 90-gram variety; according to the label, contains wheat, milk, egg and soya.
Why it suits this profile: The large format is aimed at households, sharing occasions and people who like to keep biscuits in the house regularly for serving with coffee or tea.
The 800-gram weight is clearly stated in advance. This prevents a large pack from turning out to be unexpectedly small for a family or guests.
800 grams, ready to eat and, according to the product information, suitable for serving with tea, coffee or milk.
Why it suits this profile: For snack lovers who want to try pistachio biscuits with a creamy filling and milk glaze, for example with coffee or tea.
The product information states that it contains 25% pistachio cream and mentions possible traces of egg, peanuts and other nuts. Check the label if you have allergies.
Pistachio cream, milk glaze and 128 grams of contents; the ingredients and allergens are specified.
For a coffee break, crisp caramel biscuits, chocolate biscuits or crumbly sable biscuits pair well with a strong coffee. According to the product information, Mushan Base Caramel Cookies are individually wrapped and come in a 250-gram pack containing approximately 25 bags.
With tea, you could choose matcha biscuits, almond biscuits or an assortment. G’woon Assorted Cookies weighs 200 grams and contains a variety of biscuits, including butter, almonds and hazelnuts. Pay particular attention to the allergens list.
For a party or family, larger packs are convenient. For eating on the go, individual portions are more practical. If you want to order biscuits online, it is sensible to compare several flavours by weight, ingredients, packaging and shelf life rather than judging by the product photo alone.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
That depends on your preference. Chocolate biscuits, caramel biscuits, almond biscuits and crisp biscuit varieties are often chosen to enjoy with coffee. Compare the flavour description with the ingredients list and check the quantity per pack.
Store biscuits according to the instructions on the packaging in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and heat. Seal the packaging properly or use an airtight storage container. This limits moisture absorption and helps crisp biscuits retain a pleasant texture for longer.
Check the net weight, ingredients, allergens, nutritional values and best-before information. Products from other countries may contain flavours such as matcha, pistachio, coconut latte or blueberry prepared differently from what you are used to. The current packaging remains the leading source of information about use and allergens.
