Normally, I hate biscuits, chips and other such fad foods. You never really know what goes into its making, but you always get addicted to it, you cant eat just one.
But Britannia 50-50 Maska Chaska, is it just a biscuit? I am not talking about the normal variety, which I feel is a blind but pathetic imitation of the age-old Parle Krackjack. I am referring to the green variety, which is a lot better innovation from the Britannia family.
Flavor
This biscuit is so light, thin and flaky, it just melts in your mouth. The taste is something between sweet and salty, but there is some other flavor to it that is quite appealing. Some herbs they add to this biscuit and appears in it as green speckles is giving this biscuit its cutting edge. So addictive is this biscuit that you no have to worry about storing the pack, once it is opened.
Health Wise
Well, unless you are health conscious, I recommend you not to read the nutritional information on the cover. 100g of the biscuit contains
60g Carbohydrates,
7.8g Protein,
210mg Calcium
and a whopping 27g FAT.......
That means 1/4 of what you eat goes directly into your fat cells. Maybe thats what makes them so tasty.
Ingredients
Here is a list of other ingredients in the biscuit.
Wheat flour
Edible Vegetable Oils
Sugar
Liquid Glucose
Leavening agents
Butter
Milk & Milk Products
Salt
Edible Vegetable Product (?)
Calcium
Dough Conditioners (E-223, Enzyme)
Added flavor (butter)
Permitted Antioxidant (E-320)
Packaging
It comes in a silver and green glistening wrap. A pack contains some 20 or so biscuits.
Verdict
Great tasty biscuit, highly addictive, but not recommended to indulge on a daily basis. Keep this biscuit handy for those times when hunger or your boss strikes. You can tame both of them with it.
