As a little-known fact about the afternoon tea favorite was disclosed, Arnott’s Ginger Nut biscuit fans who believed the product tasted different depending on where in Australia one drank it were correct all along.
Arnott’s Ginger Nuts are different in each state, according to a recent Facebook post that sparked a stir. Many people weren’t aware that this well-known biscuit has regional variations.
There are actually four different varieties of the biscuit in Australia, as revealed when Daily Mail Australia contacted Arnott’s to confirm the claims.
The Ginger Nut tale is accurate! According on the state you live in, Arnott’s Biscuits produces four different varieties of the same Ginger Nut biscuit.
Depending on the state you live in, the Ginger Nut biscuits have subtle variations in color, texture, and flavor as well as in the size of the packet, the ingredients list, and the packaging.
While the components are comparable, the amount of each ingredient and the time the biscuit is baked differ, according to a representative for Arnott’s.
We preserved the four distinct recipes since they were created to satisfy the preferences of Arnott’s customers in various states across the nation.
The reason for the variances dates back to a time when Arnott’s operated bakeries throughout the majority of the states, each of which used a unique regional recipe.
Arnott’s chose to use the NSW Ginger Nut recipe nationwide as the brand became more well-known, but consumers in other states objected.
When Arnott’s expanded nationwide around this time, the firm sought to introduce the NSW Ginger Nut, but Australians in every state made it clear that there was simply no substitute for the Ginger Nut they were familiar with and loved, the representative for the company stated.
“Arnott’s still has four different versions,” the statement reads.
People who have purchased a pack while traveling interstate frequently contact to check if the formula has changed, according to an Arnott’s spokeswoman.
And occasionally a biscuit from another state would get into a nearby grocery in border regions.
According to Arnott’s, their best-selling biscuit is the Queensland type, followed by the New South Wales/ACT variation.
