History[edit | edit source]
The Plasmon biscuit was first developed in the late 19th century as a response to the need for nutritious food supplements. The name "Plasmon" is derived from the protein component of blood plasma, reflecting the biscuit's original purpose of providing a concentrated source of nutrition.
