Chocolate biscuits are one of the stars of breakfast and snacks. Crunchy, regressive and delicious, they recall childhood and moments shared around a bowl of hot milk or coffee. Moreover, the little ones love it too.
But on supermarket shelves, competition rages between different iconic brands. How do you know which ones are the best, from a nutritional point of view?
Healthy chocolate cookies
This is precisely what Yuka, the nutritional rating application well known to consumers, evaluates. And according to its ranking, a surprising brand stands out: Carrefour Bio. Its chocolate biscuits are ahead of the famous Prince de Lu and BN.
In fact, Carrefour Bio chocolate biscuits obtain a score of 82/100 on Yuka, considered “excellent”. Their success is based on a simple and balanced recipe: oats, wheat flour, rapeseed oil, brown sugar, chocolate chips and low-fat cocoa.
This mixture gives them nutritional values significantly higher than those of many industrial biscuits:
- Only 17g of sugar per 100g;
- And 2.7 g of saturated fat;
- But 6.7 g of fiber;
- And 8.4g of protein.
Another advantage: all the ingredients come from French organic farming, guaranteeing the absence of synthetic pesticides.
We only note the presence of an additive considered to have limited risk, acacia gum, used as a thickener, as well as a relatively high caloric intake (468 kcal per 100 g).
A much better alternative to classic biscuits
Despite this caloric density, Carrefour Bio biscuits stand out as a healthier option than their direct competitors.
As proof, the Prince de Lu displays a score of 22/100 on Yuka, while the BN drops to 20/100, mainly due to a high content of sugar, saturated fats and additives.
These results confirm the trend: organic products with a more transparent composition appeal to parents who are attentive to the health of their children as much as fans of more balanced snacks.
