Salted sticks

Description

Salty sticks are thin, crispy breadsticks with a golden color and a distinct salty flavor; the surface may be sprinkled with coarse salt, and the texture is brittle and dry, making them a pleasant addition to snacks. They are usually made from wheat flour, oil, and salt, sometimes with the addition of spices or seeds. Nutritionally, they are dominated by carbohydrates, with a moderate amount of fat and protein, and a relatively high sodium content, so it's best to consume them in moderation. They can provide quick energy and pair well with protein dips, which increases satiety. In the kitchen, salty sticks go well with hummus, cheeses, fish spreads, salads, and as a crunchy element in soups or party snacks. It is best to store them in an airtight, dry container in a cool place, away from moisture, to maintain their crispiness; consume shortly after opening.
