Kent Susamli Sesame Sticks 175g (6.2oz)

Kent Susamli Sesame Sticks is a 175g bag of sesame-coated baked cracker sticks from Kent — a Turkish snack and biscuit brand (Kent, Istanbul) — in the susamli (sesame) format: the slim, crispy baked sticks coated in sesame seeds that provide the specific nutty, slightly savoury crunch that makes the sesame stick one of the most popular snack formats in the Turkish, Levantine, and Eastern Mediterranean snack tradition. Kent is a Turkish snack and biscuit brand producing crackers, biscuits, and snacks in the Turkish tradition, and the Susamli (Sesame) sticks represent the sesame-coated cracker that is a cornerstone of the Turkish meze and snack tradition — the susamli stick that appears on Turkish tables alongside cheese, olives, and dips as the everyday salted cracker-and-sesame snack and that the Turkish diaspora kitchen stocks as the crispy sesame snack most associated with the Turkish table. Sesame-coated sticks combine the baked, slightly salty cracker base and the sesame coating for a crunch that is more nutritionally dense and more specifically aromatic than a plain pretzel stick: the sesame seeds add their characteristic roasted-nutty flavour and slightly mineral-oil richness to the standard cracker stick, creating a snack that pairs well with mezze dips, soft cheese, hummus, and the savoury accompaniments of the Turkish and Levantine table. Eat as the Turkish sesame stick alongside mezze dips and soft cheese, serve on a snack plate with olives and hummus in the Turkish meze tradition, eat as the salted sesame snack from the bag, or keep in the pantry as the Kent Susamli sesame sticks for the household that follows the Turkish snack tradition.
