About Rusks
Rusks are dry, crisp slices of bread or cake typically baked twice to achieve their crunchy texture. Originating from various cuisines, they are widely enjoyed across Europe, particularly in Greece, Italy, and France, as well as South Africa and India. Made from wheat flour, yeast, sugar, and sometimes eggs or milk, rusks can vary in type—from plain to sweetened or spiced versions. Nutritionally, they are a source of carbohydrates and may contain fiber if whole-grain flour is used. However, they can be calorie-dense, especially when enriched with sugar, butter, or added flavors. Low-fat or whole-grain varieties are better options for health-conscious individuals. Rusks are often consumed as a snack, paired with tea or coffee, or used in recipes like breadcrumbs or dessert bases. Moderation is key to enjoying their satisfying crunch while maintaining a balanced diet.
