About Zwieback
Zwieback has been around long enough that multiple generations of American families associate it with teething. The twice-baked method produces a dry, hard-but-brittle texture that softens quickly when mouthed. Built on enriched flour with egg and some fat, it sits in roughly the same nutritional space as a plain cracker: mostly carbohydrate, moderate protein, low fiber. The lightly sweet flavor is mild enough that babies accept it readily without developing a strong preference for sweetness.
