Grissino, also known as breadsticks, is a popular Italian snack originating from the Piedmont region. Made from a simple dough of flour, water, olive oil, yeast, and salt, these thin, crispy sticks are often enjoyed as an appetizer or accompaniment to meals. Grissini may be flavored with herbs, seeds, or spices, which add variety and enhance their taste. They are relatively low in fat and cholesterol, making them a lighter alternative to heavier bread. However, their refined flour content provides carbohydrates without significant fiber, which may lack nutritional density compared to whole-grain options. Olive oil used in some recipes adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Pairing grissini with nutrient-rich dips like hummus or vegetable-based spreads can increase their nutritional value. Due to their portability and crunch, they are a versatile choice for snacking in Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
