Kozinaki (from sunflower seeds)
Did you know that "gozinak" is an original Georgian dessert? Moreover, in the original version, kozinak is presented from a mixture of crushed walnuts and liquid honey. Hazelnuts and sesame seeds are also used as a secondary additive. Pressed sunflower seeds in candied syrup are already a popular Slavic version of Kozinaki. I am periodically drawn to buy this oriental sweetness, but each time one moment stops me: the sugar sweetness of the product. Alas, even a high-quality industrial kozinak is 40-50% refined sugar. But even then, there is a healthy home alternative! Banana-based seeds and nuts will surpass store-bought sweetness at times. Unexpected, but true. Try it too.
