01
Dunk in karak chai
The classic. A dry cake rusk lowered into hot karak until it just softens, then up before it drops.
Rusks, toast & tea‑time
A pantry classic for UAE homes.
American Harvest rusks and toasts are the tea‑time staple that never goes out of style. Crisp, sturdy and made for dunking, from the morning chai to the late‑night cup.
What sets it apart
Built to dunk, not dissolve.
A good rusk holds its nerve in hot tea. American Harvest dry cake rusks and toasts are twice‑baked for a sturdy crunch that softens just enough in the cup without collapsing into the bottom.
For a karak run, an early suhoor, or a quiet evening chai, these are the tins worth keeping full. Simple, crisp, and as good with cheese as they are with a sweet milky tea.
- Twice‑bakedBaked for a sturdy, even crunch that survives a proper dunk.
- RangeDry cake rusk, milk toast and wheat toast for tea and breakfast.
- KeepsStays crisp in the tin, ready whenever the kettle goes on.

Biscuits & rusks, answered
Five questions about the range.
What does American Harvest make in this range?
Premium dry cake rusk, milk toast and wheat toast, the crisp, twice‑baked staples for tea‑time and breakfast.
What is the difference between a rusk and a toast?
A rusk is a denser, drier twice‑baked biscuit built for dunking, while the milk and wheat toasts are lighter and crisp for breakfast and cheese.
How do I keep them crisp in the humidity?
Store them sealed in an airtight tin away from the steam of the kitchen, and they stay crisp through the Gulf summer.
Can I use rusks for a dessert base?
Yes. Crushed with melted butter they make a sturdy no‑bake cheesecake or tart base, and they soak beautifully into trifles.
Where can I buy American Harvest rusks?
