Savoury biscuits can be used with a variety of toppings, however, they are often the culprit of unwanted salt and high glycaemic carbs, which are not great for your health and make your blood glucose levels more difficult to manage. When choosing your biscuit base, opt for a selection that is:

High in fibre – with at least 3g fibre per 100g. But, don’t be surprised if fibre content is not listed on many biscuit products;

Lower in salt (sodium) – aim for less than 400mg sodium per 100g; and

Lower in total and saturated fat – look for less than 10g

total fat per 100g, with less than one third of that being saturated fat.

If you’re looking for a healthier option to go with dips and platters, try mixing in a variety of vegetable sticks – carrot, celery, capsicum, cucumber, asparagus spears or even broccoli/ cauliflowe­r florets. Not only do these make perfect dippers, they also add a beautiful array of colour to any party platter!
