Woolworths Freefrom Gluten Free Biscuits

Taste

From the range of Gluten Free products, I was expecting these to be not as good as the “real thing”, and by that I mean flour, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Orange and Poppyseed Choc Coated Biscuits were a bit more cakey than biscuity, but it actually suits quite well. The biscuit is dense, making the chocolate a very good foil for the biscuits. I love the poppy seeds, and chocolate and orange is such a classic pairing.

The Choc Coated Biscuits were great too, but I have to rank them below the orange and poppyseed. These have a much more chocolate hit, but otherwise the biscuits are pretty plain.

Look

Maybe because they are gluten free, but more care seems to have gone into the packaging. Plastic trays separate the biscuits ensuring they don’t all stick together – good in theory but didn’t quite work in practice, my pack of biscuits all rolled to one side.

Appearance wise, they are very pretty, with chocolate decorations and in the case of the orange, beautiful specks of poppyseed.

C-factor

I got my 200g packs as a sample from the Gluten Free Expo. They normally cost around $3.50 for 12 cookies inside.
