What is Basak pistachio croquant?
Basak pistachio croquant is a crisp confection made by binding pistachios with cooked sugar. The brittle snaps into pieces, with the toasted, savoury notes of the nuts set against a distinctly sweet, caramel-like coating. It is a Turkish-style sweet, often enjoyed in small pieces with tea or coffee, or offered to guests and at celebrations; elsewhere, it also works as a little after-dinner treat.
It is energy-dense, with 480 kcal per 100 g, while the pistachios contribute some protein and fibre. Because it is quite sweet, try a small piece alongside unsweetened tea, or crumble it over plain yoghurt or ice cream for added crunch.
