The oatcakes are reasonably healthy, but don't be fooled by the fact they can be purchased in a health food store - they still contain a relatively high amount of fat (1 oatcake = 2.6g fat, 42 calories) However, they do contain wholegrain oats which is healthy!

I prefer to eat these as they come, on the go, but they can be dry that way, so a little margarine on top can work wonders. These did satisfy my cheese cravings but, I find that one or two isn't enough and often eat 3 or 4 in a sitting, which probably isn't so good when you look at the fat content! Overall, these are handy to have in the house for snacking but I wouldn't recommend them for regular eating.
Advantages: Yummy! Come in handy little packets to have on the go Disadvantages: Each packet has 6 biscuits - I'd prefer 3 or 4.

This was not the first time I'd bought these - I've been buying oatcakes for several years, although not on a regular basis. I find them really handy to have in my bag when out ... ...have to buy snacks. Incidently Nairn's also do oatcakes in other varieties, both sweet (two varieties - mixed fruit and ginger) and non-sweet (rough, finely milled, herb and pumpkin seed), all of which I've tried at some point. The other 'savoury' oatcakes are a bit plain on their own and really need something to go with them so I went for the cheese ones which I knew tasted nice on their own. The oatcakes themselves come in packs of 6. There are ...
