10. History of the ANZAC biscuit. During World War 1, the wives, mothers and girlfriends of the Australian soldiers were concerned for the nutritional value of the food being supplied to their men. Any food they sent to the fighting men had to be carried in the ships of the Merchant Navy. Most had no refrigerated facilities, so any food sent had to be able to remain edible after periods in excess of two months.

11. History of the ANZAC biscuit. A body of women came up with the answer - a biscuit with all the nutritional value possible. The ingredients they used were: rolled oats, sugar, plain flour, coconut, butter, golden syrup or treacle, bi- carbonate of soda and boiling water. All these items did not readily spoil.
