Got questions? We've got answers.

What are Marie Biscuits?⌄

Marie Biscuits are light, mildly sweet, round biscuits, one of the most popular tea-time biscuits across South Asia, often dipped in chai.

What is Rusk (Toast)?⌄

Rusk is a twice-baked, dry bread biscuit, crisp in texture and traditionally dipped in tea to soften before eating.

Are these biscuits suitable for children?⌄

Most biscuits and rusk are suitable for children, though check sugar content and any allergen information first.

Do your biscuits contain nuts?⌄

Some cookies and cream biscuit varieties may contain or be processed near nuts — check the individual product's allergen information.

Are Digestive Biscuits actually good for digestion?⌄

The name is traditional/historical rather than a health claim — digestive biscuits are simply a type of wholemeal biscuit, and we don't make specific health claims about their effect on digestion.

How should I store biscuits and rusk to keep them crisp?⌄

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place; exposure to humidity can cause biscuits and rusk to lose their crispness.

Are your biscuits suitable for vegetarians?⌄

Most biscuits are vegetarian, but check the individual product label to confirm, as some may contain gelatin or other animal-derived ingredients in specific formulations.

What's the shelf life of packaged biscuits?⌄

Unopened biscuits typically have a shelf life of several months to a year — check the best-before date on individual packaging.

Do you sell sugar-free biscuit options?⌄

Sugar-free or reduced-sugar options vary by brand — check the site or individual product pages for availability.

Are your biscuits suitable for vegans?⌄

This varies by product, as many biscuits contain milk or butter — check the individual product's ingredient list to confirm vegan suitability.

What's the difference between Rusk and regular biscuits?⌄

Rusk is baked twice for extra crispness and a drier texture, specifically designed to be dipped and softened in tea, whereas regular biscuits are baked once.

Can I buy biscuits in bulk packs?⌄

Bulk or multi-pack options vary by product — check the individual product page for available sizes.

Do these biscuits contain palm oil?⌄

This varies by product — check the individual product's ingredient list for specific fat/oil content.

Are cream biscuits more indulgent than digestive biscuits?⌄

Generally yes — cream biscuits tend to have higher sugar and fat content due to their filling, compared to plainer digestive or Marie biscuits. Check nutrition labels for specifics.

Can I use crushed biscuits in dessert recipes?⌄

Yes — crushed Marie biscuits and digestive biscuits are commonly used as a base for no-bake desserts and cheesecake crusts.
