Shortbread: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Shortbread is a traditional Scottish biscuit, typically made with a high proportion of butter, flour, and sugar. This category includes a variety of shortbread products, such as plain butter shortbread, as well as those with added ingredients like toffee, nuts, or fruit. When choosing shortbread, it's helpful to look at the nutrition information on the packaging. Shortbread can be high in fat and sugar, so checking the 'of which saturates' and 'sugars' columns can help you make informed choices. The ingredient list will show you the order in which ingredients are used; butter is usually listed first in traditional shortbread. While shortbread is not typically a significant source of fibre, some varieties might incorporate wholemeal flour, which would be listed towards the beginning of the ingredients if used in larger quantities. Remember that shortbread is best enjoyed as an occasional treat as part of a balanced diet, as advised by the NHS Eatwell Guide. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
