Types of snacks that Gastronomic Spain offers you
The snacks are a type of food that is used to be consumed between hours. It is already prepared and on many occasions it can be eaten from its own packaging.
At Gastronomic Spain, you are going to find more than 100 different types of snacks. a very broad category that could be differentiated among: nuts, traditional appetizers and chips - extruded.
Nuts from Spanish origin:
Nuts are a very popular type of snacks. It is considered a healthy appetizer and it used to be consumed between hours to obtain an energy boost.
Among the most popular snacks we find: nuts, cashew nuts, almonds, peanuts, sultanas, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and the mixtures and mixtures between them.
We can find these nuts packed raw, roasted and fried. They usually come in medium-sized packets, to be eaten in one sitting, and are usually eaten from the bag.
They are considered a healthy snack as they are natural seeds with a high energy boost. However, the taste and properties will depend on whether they are roasted, raw and fried. Raw nuts are the most natural and are very healthy, with no additives. Roasted nuts, although they have only been lightly roasted, have some salt added and have a greater aroma and flavor, as roasting and salting enhance their flavor. Finally, fried nuts and dried fruit have an increase in fat due to the frying they have undergone.
Salted seeds and Grefusa:
Seeds is a very popular nut in Spain, but abroad it is mainly used to feed pets and rodents. It is a snack that usually comes with the shell, which is roasted and salted. The seed is peeled with the mouth.
Although there are many manufacturers of seeds in Spain, one of the most popular is Grefusa, which has among its brands Pipas G and Piponazo.
Traditional Spanish appetizers:
Like seeds, there are other types of snacks that are only consumed in Spain. These snacks have been consumed in Spain for generations and are part of the identity of some regions.
These traditional snacks include torreznos (bacon rashers), pork rind, fried fat, lupins, tiger nuts and the famous rosquilletas and picos.
The torreznos, rinds and fried fat come from the pork, exactly from the skin of this animal, depending on the part of the body from which it is obtained and whether it is only fat or also lean, it will be called one way or another. They are snacks that are considered to be offal, or from the supply kitchen. As well as they can be found to eat hot or already packaged and in small pieces to eat as if they were chips.
Lupins, also called altramusos or chochos, are a seed that is put in brine until it is soft. They are very typical of the South, in the part of Andalusia where they are commonly consumed.
Tigernuts are a mini tuber used to make horchata. Although its main use is to make this drink, it is very common to eat them in the Levante area. To do this, they need to be covered in water for a couple of hours to soften them.
Another of the most typical Spanish snacks are the rosquilletas, which can be defined as salty and very thin breadsticks, toasted in the oven and may contain some nuts such as seeds and peanuts. They usually come in small, individual packets weighing between 70 and 100 g. They are eaten straight from the bag. It is a "hunger killer" as it is usually eaten between meals to "trick" the stomach.
