Candied roasted nuts

At the mention of the word grillage in the memory of most residents of our latitudes, memories of chocolates beloved since childhood, which were made of nuts and caramel in a green coat with a squirrel, involuntarily pop up. However, few people know that grilling is primarily a nut French dessert, and then a popular confection. They claim that grillage began to be made in the likeness of eastern halva, which is also produced from nuts or seeds.

Some scholars of Eastern folklore claim that Scheherazade (daughter of the vizier and heroine of the fairy tale "1001 Nights") invented the grillage dessert. However, this version was quickly criticized, because the image of a fabulous girl is collected and it is simply impossible to establish the exact authorship of the grill recipe. The classic composition of the grill includes hazelnuts, which are fried in sugar. Under the influence of temperature, sugar turns into syrup, as a result, a sweet nut mass is obtained, which, after solidification, turns into a dessert grillage.

Composition of the grill

The dessert recipe has been known for several centuries, so the original composition of the grill has undergone a number of changes, thanks to which in our time there is not a single version of the lacomtsva. By composition, grillage is divided into the following types:



nut grillage;

fruit grillage;

soft grilling, usually made from crushed nuts and fruits;

solid grillage;

honey grillage;

chocolate grillage sweets;



The calorie content of the grill directly depends on the compound ingredients of the sweet treat. The average calorie content of nut grilling prepared according to the classic recipe is 482 Kcal per 100 grams of product. However, if you replace sugar with natural honey and use the lowest calorie nuts, the indicators of the final product can undergo serious changes. And opposite, grilling chocolates are considered among the most high-calorie. What is remarkable is that the grill combines the bad and good sides of the main ingredients of the product.

On the one hand, the unique chemical composition of nuts, which is rich in useful vitamins and compounds of natural origin. Nuts are highly nutritious and contain a number of amino acids indispensable for the human body. Therefore, nutritionists and doctors recommend not to abuse nuts and consume no more than 100 grams of the product daily. On the other hand, sugar, which in moderation nourishes the human brain and stimulates thought processes.

However, refined sugar, which is used in the process of making confectionery products, leads to the formation of refractory fats, for the processing of which large resources of the body are spent, while calcium and vitamins of group B are washed out. Of course, it is better to consume a tasty and natural grilling treat in moderation, since dessert can cause significant harm to tooth enamel and cause the development of tooth decay. The conclusion suggests itself one - everything is good to use in moderation, and the nut dessert grilling in this case was no exception.
