Online you'll find a huge range of international biscuits: from Japanese biscuits with matcha or strawberry to American biscuits, Oreo biscuits and Danish butter biscuits. This wide selection makes choosing appealing, but also tricky. A striking packet doesn't always tell you about the flavour, size or suitability for your needs.
When buying biscuits online, watch out for three common pitfalls:
First, decide what type of snack you're after. Chocolate biscuits with cocoa and cream are generally sweeter and fuller in flavour. Matcha biscuits often combine green tea with milk, white chocolate or a creamy filling. If you'd prefer a more familiar taste, look at vanilla, milk, butter or strawberry.
Texture also makes a difference:
Don't just compare the price per packet, but also the quantity. A 40 g bag is handy for on the go, while a 150 to 200 g pack is better suited to a coffee or tea moment with several people.
Individual or resealable packs help keep the crunchy texture for longer. Store biscuits according to the product information in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, heat and moisture. After opening, sealing well is important.
Check at least:
Nutritional values are usually given per 100 g. That makes comparing easier. In the available selection, energy values range from around 452 to 582 kcal per 100 g, for example. Also look at sugar, fat, saturated fat and salt. A claim like "less sugar" should always be seen in the context of the full nutritional table. For Franzzi Coconut Latte Flavored Filled Cookies, for instance, 20.3 g of sugar per 100 g is stated; check the actual packaging for the most complete information.
Product information can change. If you have allergies, intolerances or any doubts, the label on the physical packaging is what counts.

For a mixed order, you can combine different flavour directions:
For products with a filling or coating, check the sugar and fat content per 100 g. For sharing with family or colleagues, packs of 115 g, 128 g, 150 g or 200 g are practical. For on the go, 40 g, 52 g, 66 g or 70 g are easier to carry.
You can buy international biscuits online by first filtering by flavour, country, brand, net weight and allergens. Then look at the full product information and the best-before date on the packaging.
The shelf life is stated on the packaging. Store biscuits unopened and opened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal an opened bag well to keep the crunchy texture as much as possible.
For sharing, larger packs such as Danish butter biscuits of 150 g, chocolate biscuits of 200 g or a multipack of Oreo are practical. If you want to try several flavours, combine small packs with one larger selection.
