What we say
ARNOTT'S Milk Arrowroot biscuits have been available since 1888. At the turn of the century, arrowroot was a common source of starch, and according to the manufacturer, "Milk Arrowroot soon becaume the food of choice for Australian mothers and their children as it was easily digestible. It was often crushed and served with milk as a way to start babies on solids. Then as kids grew up, it was packed as a sandwich in school lunch boxes."
These days, it's on-pack claims include 'wholesome energy to keep you going' and 'packed with energy from the goodness of grains'. What you need to remember is that energy is just another word for kilojoules, and the 'grain' the pack refers to is simply wheat flour. At the end of the day, Milk Arrowroot biscuits are simply that - biscuits - made from flour, sugar, oil, condensed milk and a dash of salt. As with any sweet biscuits, they're occasional treats only.
