Net weight 1 kg.: A rusk is a food that we encounter from ancient times until today. It's a form of dry and crunchy bread that has received twice the usual exposure to fire (in a stove). Its recipe resulted from the need for rural families, where the wife was also busy being involved in agricultural work, was not able to knead fresh bread on a daily basis. Therefore, she used to knead a large quantity of bread once, which was then consumed fresh as long as it could last (2-3 days) and the rest was roasted a second time in the oven, in order to expel excess moisture and last even more. There is a large variety of rusks that are produced from different kinds of flours. Made with simple ingredients, rusks have a high nutritional value as they contain plenty of fiber, B vitamins, vitamin E, and micronutrients. No preservatives, no chemical additives. A product low in fat, but highly filling and digestible because of its high fiber content. One portion of the product contains half the amount of salt compared to one portion of bread. Their crisp texture makes them an ideal companion for one or more main meals during the day. They can also be enjoyed as a tasty snack in combination with other ingredients since they are rich in fiber that helps in feeling full more quickly. This, in combination with the right choice of accompanying foods at each meal, is the key to a well-balanced diet.A secret for the best dakos you’ve ever had: sprinkle water on the rusks in order to soften them before adding the tomatoes. Make sure you use ripe, juicy tomatoes, grated over the rusks so it absorbs all the juice. Season and drizzle with some evoo. Finish the dish with crumbled feta or mizithra cheese (or a mix of both), a generous drizzle of evoo, some wild Greek oregano, Kalamata olives, capers or kritamo, if desired. Feels like a holiday in Crete! Ingredients Whole meal rye flour (60%), Wheat, Malt, Olive Oil, Water, Salt, Yeast.
