The inhabitants of the East knew a lot about sweets. Thanks to this, recipes of delicious and useful treats prepared from natural ingredients have spread all over the world.
Classical kozinaki prepared for a simple recipe of nuts and honey. However, later this recipe received a number of variations. Today they are called various sweets prepared from sunflower seeds, various nuts, oat flakes , sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and sugar syrup. In addition, there were candy options, glazed with chocolate. The benefit and harm of the kozinaks depends on what product is in their composition.
The benefits and harms of sesame kosinaks
The composition of sesame kozinak includes sesame seeds, sugar syrup, molasses or, in rare cases, honey. In the East, the sesame seed was considered a symbol of youth and vigor of spirit. Therefore kozinaki based on sesame were food favorites, winners or national heroes. Sesame kozinaki could contribute to the victory, as they are remarkably strengthening their strength and giving energy.
To get the most benefit from sesame kosinaks, they are best cooked at home. But even industrial kozinaki from sesame will have such useful properties:
- saturate the body with a lot of calcium, being a prevention of osteoporosis. And in sesame, this mineral is contained in an amount greater than in some types of cheeses:
- strengthen the immune system, neutralizing the negative impact of the environment;
- restore strength after physical overload;
- soothe the nervous system.
Benefits and harms of sunflower goat
Sunflower kozinaki is made from the seed of sunflower and molasses. Benefits of kozinaks from sunflower seeds are in the presence of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin B6, which is necessary for the prevention of skin diseases and atherosclerosis. Sometimes they add sesame seeds, which improves their taste and nutritional value.
Caloric content of kozinaks from sunflower seeds is quite high and amounts to more than 500 units per 100 g of product. For this reason, sweetness is not recommended for people with obesity and diabetes . However, people who are prone to a set of excess weight, should be tempered with the use of kozinaks.
The harm of kosinaks can be felt by people with allergic reactions, as the seeds and nuts that are part of the eastern sweetness are allergenic foods.
