What is Wheat and Rye Grissini?
Wheat and rye grissini are slender, crisp breadsticks made from dough combining the two grains. Grissini are associated with Turin in northern Italy, where they have long been served at the table; today they are also a familiar packaged snack in many countries. Their dry crunch and lightly toasted, bready flavour make them easy to nibble on their own or serve with a meal.
They pair naturally with soup, salads, cheese, olives and antipasti, or can be dipped into hummus and other spreads. Nutritionally, they are mostly a carbohydrate source, with some fibre and comparatively little protein. For a more filling snack, serve them with cheese or a bean-based dip; their crisp texture also makes them a handy alternative to softer bread alongside a light meal.
