Whole grain
Lotus Biscoff is made from refined flour rather than whole grain. This is typical of most biscuits and is reflected in the low fibre content of 0.1g per biscuit. The bran and germ layers of the grain that contain most of the naturally occurring fibre are removed during the refining process.
Processing (NOVA classification)
Lotus Biscoff falls into NOVA group 4, ultra-processed foods. This reflects the combination of refined ingredients, added sugar, flavourings, and industrial processing methods used to produce the final product. The NOVA group 4 classification applies to the vast majority of packaged biscuits, regardless of whether they contain wholegrain ingredients.
Salt
Lotus Biscoff contains 0.04g of salt per biscuit. Three biscuits contain 0.1g of salt. Salt is not the primary nutritional concern for most biscuits; the sugar and saturated fat content are more significant.
