Looking at the current ingredients of the biscuits, it seems that they have several key health-warning ingredients.
One of the best attractions besides the seafood at red lobster restaurants is the cheddar bay biscuit. They are served to each table before the main course. They are a mixture of garlic and cheddar cheese in a biscuit. The flavor is unique and definitely yummy.
The concern for the health conscious is whether or not the delicious biscuits are good for you. Many people today are trying to count calories, and/or watch their cholesterol intake. These restaurant goers want to eat delicious but healthy foods. The question arises, are the red lobster cheddar bay biscuits healthy? If not, can they be made to keep the same great taste, but be better for you?
Looking at the current ingredients of the biscuits, it seems that they have several key health-warning ingredients. Butter is often referred to as an ingredient that is bad for you. In actuality, nothing can be further from the truth. Butter is a natural fat that easily absorbs Vitamin A which is necessary for a healthy adrenal system and also for the thyroid. It also contains an acid that is helpful to prevent yeast infections. Another plus for the butter found in the red lobster cheddar bay biscuits is that it has antioxidants good for the arteries. There are many more good things about butter.
Another questionable health risk in the cheddar bay biscuits is the mix used to create the delicious wonders. Using bleached white flour products is a concern of many who are watching their carbohydrate intake and worried about cholesterol. Could red lobster use a healthier product such as unbleached flour? Sure, they could sure give it a try and preserve the taste with the other ingredients used.
There is also the concern about milk fat. Well, a milk with lesser fat content can be substituted for whole milk. It would make the texture a little lighter, but the taste would most likely have minimal difference.
Lastly, the cheddar cheese in the cheddar bay biscuits is considered unhealthy to most. However, if cheddar cheese is made with a lower fat content milk, the cheese content can be made healthier for ingestion. Therefore, the cheddar cheese may not be a contribution to the belief that the biscuits are not good for you.
In conclusion, cheddar bay biscuits can be made to be more health friendly to those inclined to watch what goes into their bodies without sacrificing taste. Will they be made that way for the public to judge. You will have to wait and see.
