Wholemeal and five-grain biscuits for breakfast

Breakfast is the moment of the day when habits matter most: the same cup, the same seat at the table, the same biscuit to dunk. If your favourite is a biscuit made with wholemeal flour, among our Sweet treats you will find three: wholemeal biscuits, five-grain biscuits and their version with blueberries. Here is how they are made and how they differ.

What they have in common

All three start from the same idea as our other biscuits: a dough with olive oil and lactose-free milk, scented with vanilla. What changes is the flour, and with it the character of each biscuit.

Wholemeal biscuits

Here wholemeal flour is combined with re-milled durum wheat semolina. Besides vanilla there is lemon, which gives the biscuit a citrus note.

• Ingredients: type 00 wholemeal flour, re-milled durum wheat semolina, olive oil, water, lactose-free milk, salt, sugar, vanilla, lemon, raising agent.
• Pack: 350 g, 10 pieces.
• Shelf life: 4 months.

You can find them here: Wholemeal biscuits.

Five-grain biscuits

These biscuits use just one flour: 5-grain wholemeal flour. No lemon, just a touch of vanilla, for a simpler taste.

• Ingredients: 5-grain wholemeal flour, olive oil, water, lactose-free milk, salt, sugar, vanilla, raising agent.
• Pack: 350 g, 10 pieces.
• Shelf life: 4 months.

You can find them here: Five-grain biscuits.

With blueberries

The same five-grain recipe, with added blueberries. It is the version for those who like to find a little fruit in their biscuit at breakfast. The pack is 300 g: Five-grain biscuits with blueberries.

Which to choose

• If you like a note of lemon: the wholemeal biscuits.
• If you prefer a simpler taste, just vanilla: the five-grain ones.
• If you are looking for fruit: the five-grain biscuits with blueberries.

Can't decide? Keep two different packs in the cupboard and alternate them during the week.

Breakfast ideas

The most classic way is to dunk them in milk or caffè latte. But they also go well with a hot tea, crumbled over yogurt or carried in your bag for a mid-morning break. And at the weekend, when breakfast is unhurried, you can put them on a plate together with the milk biscuits, made with type 00 wheat flour, eggs, lemon and vanilla, so everyone can choose their own.

If there are allergies or intolerances in the family, always check the full list of ingredients and allergens on each product's page.
