About Sesame seed candy
Sesame seed candy, often known as sesame brittle or "pasteli" in Greek cuisine, is a sweet treat enjoyed across various cultures, including Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean traditions. Made from a blend of sesame seeds and a natural sweetener like honey or sugar, this candy is toasted until golden and set into thin, crispy bars or rounds. Sesame seeds are rich in essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats, offering benefits for bone health and heart function. Additionally, they provide a boost of fiber and plant-based protein. However, the high sugar or honey content makes sesame candy an energy-dense snack, which should be consumed in moderation, especially for those managing sugar intake. Its chewy texture and nutty flavor make it a satisfying dessert or snack option, honoring centuries-old culinary traditions while delivering a nutrient-packed bite.
