Galettes are the collective name for French flatbreads. Since similar products were used on sea ships instead of perishable bread, in a number of languages dry unleavened cookies like crackers began to be called biscuits. Biscuits do not spoil for a long time and retain their nutritional qualities, therefore they are suitable for army and naval rations and expeditions. And also biscuits are a dietary dessert that is suitable for children, pregnant women, people undergoing treatment and anyone who is watching their figure. It's easy to make biscuits at home.
