Beer stick is a traditional ingredient used in some regions of Latin America, especially in Mexico, to prepare snacks and appetizers, as well as in various home cooking recipes. It is a type of snack made from wheat or corn dough, similar to an elongated salted stick or savory cracker, which usually has a slightly salty flavor and a crunchy texture, ideal for accompanying beverages like beer.
Origin: This ingredient has its roots in popular Mexican cuisine, where it is frequently consumed at social gatherings and parties. Beer sticks are very common in grocery stores and supermarkets and are used to complement dishes or simply as a snack.
Properties: Beer sticks are primarily a source of carbohydrates from the flour used in their preparation. They generally have a low content of fats and proteins, depending on the specific recipe or commercial brand. They are an energizing snack that is consumed in small quantities due to their salt content and processed nature.
Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Depending on the country, beer sticks may also be known as palitos salados (salted sticks), palitos crujientes (crunchy sticks), galletones salados (salted crackers), or simply snacks salados (salted snacks). However, the term beer stick is widely recognized in Mexico and some nearby regions.
