About Candies, sesame crunch
Sesame crunch is a brittle, crunchy candy made by binding toasted sesame seeds in cooked sugar or honey, then setting it into bars or bite-size pieces. Found across Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and East Asian sweet traditions, it has an intense nutty flavor and a satisfying snap.
Being almost entirely sesame seeds and sugar, it is energy-dense but nutritious for a candy: about 517 calories per 100 grams, with roughly 12 grams of protein, a high 7.7 grams of fiber, and 33 grams of mostly unsaturated fat, plus the calcium, iron and magnesium sesame provides. The counterweight is around 50 grams of carbohydrate, about 31 grams of it sugar from the binder.
Sesame crunch is eaten in small pieces as a sweet-and-crunchy snack with tea or coffee. Its seed base gives it real fiber and minerals, but the sugar and calorie density keep it a treat — a little goes a long way.
