However, remember that, although they do not contain butter, they have a considerable amount of fat which, coming from seeds, achenes, fruit and bran, are mainly unsaturated and, despite having the same caloric value as saturated ones, have a positive metabolic impact. The quantity of dietary fiber is considerable, but remember that it in itself is not sufficient to reactivate the intestine; the biscuits, being dehydrated from cooking, need to be accompanied by water or a drink useful for rehydrating the portion of dietary fiber. soluble.
