About Picos

Picos are small, crunchy breadsticks traditionally enjoyed in Spanish cuisine. Typically made from wheat flour, olive oil, water, salt, and sometimes yeast, these bite-sized snacks are often served alongside tapas, cheeses, cured meats, or dips. Their light and airy texture makes them a versatile accompaniment, perfect for enhancing flavors without overwhelming the palate. As they are baked rather than fried, picos are generally lower in fat, especially when olive oil is used, contributing heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. However, they can be high in refined carbohydrates and sodium, so moderation is key. Their simple ingredient list often makes them free of additives or preservatives, appealing to those seeking a more natural option. Picos are a delightful snack rooted in the culinary heritage of Spain, offering both tradition and taste in every crunchy bite.
