Salt straw

The taste of appetizing, crispy salt straws has been remembered by many since childhood. After all, it was then, in times of shortage, that most children only dreamed of almost unattainable chocolates and other sweet delights, which today the modern generation of babies is already fed up with.

Salt straws are a fairly simple product that is made on the basis of wheat flour with the addition of a fatty component, eggs, food baking powder and some other additives. Undoubtedly, salt straws also include table salt, because otherwise it would have such a pleasant brackish taste. The calorie content of salt straws is about 347 kcal per hundred grams of ready-made flour product.

In addition to the factory product, which, by the way, can almost always be purchased in the nearest store, many people like salty straws for home cooking. It is done quite quickly and simply, and besides, it does not require special skills with culinary art. True, some novice culinary experts complain about the difficulty of working with the dough, which turns out to be too cool, but otherwise the crunch and crumbly characteristic of salt straws cannot be achieved.

You can consume salted straws not only as an excellent snack or as a pleasant addition to weak alcoholic drinks (to beer, for example), but also use it as one of the components when preparing some dishes. In particular, many hostesses like to decorate their culinary creations with this crisp, attractive product - making a basket based on salted straws by securing it with green onion feathers or braid cheese threads as an option. Such an unusual and simultaneously edible vessel can be used as a piano for all kinds of unsweetened salads. Guests will definitely be delighted!

In addition, salt straws are an excellent skewer for peculiar meat cutlets. It is enough to wrap part of the straws with mince, form a dense cutlet, and then fry it in vegetable oil or bake in the oven. It turns out a completely edible and tasty dish, and even very unusual.

However, for all your love for this crumbly product, do not forget about the rather high calorie content of salt straws. The fact is that excessive use of high-carb flour products leads not only to excess body weight, which is extremely undesirable for those seeking to lose weight, but also fraught with problems with many internal organs and body systems. Therefore, as they say, everything should be in moderation, including incredibly tasty salt straws.
