What it is

Spicy sesame sticks are a crunchy snack made from flour, sesame seeds, and spices. The dough is typically fried or baked until crisp, and then seasoned with a blend of chili peppers, salt, and other flavorings to give them a spicy kick.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use spicy sesame sticks as a flavorful and crunchy component in snack mixes, trail mixes, and as a topping for various dishes. Their savory and spicy profile makes them a popular addition to provide texture and taste.

Health notes

Spicy sesame sticks are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of carbohydrates and some protein. JECFA has evaluated sesame seeds and found them safe. While generally safe, excessive consumption of fried snacks may contribute to higher calorie and sodium intake.

Allergen info

Sesame is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Spicy sesame sticks contain sesame and may be produced in facilities that also process wheat, soy, or other allergens, potentially leading to cross-contamination.
