The History and Culture of Biscuits
Tracing back to ancient civilizations, the form of biscuits was probably a mixture of roughly ground grains and water, then baked on hot stones. Despite its rough texture, it already possesses the basic characteristics of a biscuit – dry and easy to store. In medieval Europe, bakers began experimenting with fermentation agents other than yeast, such as tartaric acid and sodium bicarbonate, which greatly enriched the taste and form of cookies. Around the 10th century AD, biscuits were introduced to Europe. By the 14th century, biscuits had become one of the most popular Dim sum in Europe. In modern times, the biscuit industry has flourished. In the 19th century, in order to solve the problem of long-term maritime food reserves, a bread with low moisture content – biscuits – was invented. This type of biscuit is not only easy to store, but also has a crispy texture, quickly becoming a must-have food for sailors.
With people’s increasing concern for food health and quality, the production of cookies is also constantly innovating and advancing. More and more healthy biscuit options with low sugar, gluten free, and high dietary fiber are emerging in the market. In addition, in order to meet the personalized needs of consumers, many bakers and businesses have also launched customized cookie services, where customers can choose ingredients according to their taste preferences, and even customize the shape and pattern of cookies. In the context of globalization, the flavors and production techniques of biscuits from different regions are borrowed and integrated, forming a rich and diverse international biscuit culture. For example, British traditional biscuits, such as tea cakes and butter biscuits, are famous around the world; And the Tuscany region of Italy is famous for its nut biscuit Cantocchini.
In short, cookies, as a type of food, not only have a long history and rich cultural connotations, but also demonstrate infinite vitality and charm through continuous innovation and development. Whether as a daily snack or a must-have for holiday celebrations, cookies occupy an indispensable position in our lives.
