Review of Piroucrisp Caramelized Biscuits

Piroucrisp Caramelized Biscuits (vegan)
Overall Rating: 2.5/5
Summary: cinnamon flavoured, super duper crunchy, traditional Belgian biscuits. These were just okay in my opinion. The cinnamon were present, but I prefer Anna's Ginger Thins (reviewed here), which taste similar but better! I wouldn't buy it again nor would I recommend it. There's also very little going on on their website on environmental or social contributions.

Where to buy: buy online



Ingredients: wheat flour, sugars, vegetable oils and fats (palm, rapeseed), candy syrup, raising agent: sodium hydrogen carbonate, salt, cinnamon.

The ingredients are not great at all. Not whole wheat flour, no whole grains, palm oil is not certified sustainable (palm oil is a major driver of deforestation in Indonesia), and I have no idea what candy syrup is.

The nutritional profile is okay, only because of the added vitamins A and C and calcium. Other than that, there's very little fiber/protein content.

So, I say...don't bother.

  • Very little of interest to note
