FAQs
No. They have no added sugar, which is not the same as sugar-free. Almonds carry about 4.35 g of natural sugar per 100 g (USDA), and FSSAI allows “sugar free” only below 0.5 g per 100 g. There are no sugar alcohols or sucralose in the cookie either.
A biscuit is a food, not a diabetes treatment. No Spike has no added sugar, no maida and more than 20% prebiotic fibre, which makes it a better swap for a regular sweet biscuit, but it still has carbohydrate and calories. If you have diabetes, count it in your meal plan and ask your doctor.
It carries far less starch. Almonds have about 21.6 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, 12.5 g of it fibre, against about 76 g of carbohydrate in refined wheat flour (USDA). That is why No Spike uses almond flour, not maida, as its base.
The recipe has no wheat, maida or other gluten grain. The cookie is not sold as certified gluten-free, so if you have coeliac disease, check the pack before eating it.
