For us, a cookie should first and foremost be something to enjoy. But we also wanted it to feel satisfying, provide valuable nutrients and not leave you reaching for something else straight away. That is why Bisous du Biscuit is built around legumes, nuts and a variety of fibre-rich plant ingredients. And that is no coincidence: these ingredients are studied for their relationship with satiety — the feeling of having eaten enough and not becoming hungry again immediately. (1)

When we say that our cookies bring together nutritious ingredients, we mean something very specific. At Bisous du Biscuit, we did not start with a traditional cookie dough and then add a few nutritious ingredients as an afterthought. We approached it the other way round. We began by looking at the ingredients themselves. What do they naturally bring to the recipe? What do they offer nutritionally? And how can we bring different ingredients together in a single cookie?

For us, a cookie should always be something to enjoy first and foremost. But when developing our recipes, we looked beyond taste and texture alone. We deliberately selected a variety of plant-based, fibre-rich ingredients, drawing inspiration from what science currently tells us about prebiotic fibres and the gut microbiome. That is why we describe our cookies not as prebiotic, but as prebiotic-inspired.
