What it is
Salted sesame sticks are a crunchy snack made from wheat flour, sesame seeds, and salt. The dough is typically fried or baked until golden brown and then coated with salt.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add salted sesame sticks for their savory flavor and crunchy texture. They are often found in snack mixes, as a topping for salads or soups, or enjoyed on their own as a snack.
Health notes
Salted sesame sticks are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats from the sesame seeds. Excessive sodium intake from salted snacks can contribute to high blood pressure in some individuals. JECFA has evaluated sesame seeds and found them to be safe.
