The most unusual sweets from around the world - sour, salty, peppery and sticky - will make you reconsider your idea of ​​this type of confectionery.

Salmiakki sweets

These candies, produced in Finland, are extremely popular in northern Europe. They are available in soft or hard form, but invariably in black. The sharp salty-sweet taste, enhanced by the addition of real ammonia, guarantees a shock to the receptors in the mouth. Salmiakki is also added to liqueur, ice cream or soft drinks.

Glowing gelatin candies

In America, the production of gelatin candies has been taken to a new level. Today it is no longer possible to surprise consumers with the shape or color of a product, but a luminous delicacy is a new word in the food industry. The bag of gelatin candies comes with special tongs, once in which the candy begins to emit light no worse than an LED lamp.

Durian is the most controversial fruit. The sweet taste and soft texture are hindered by a nauseating smell, which is why this gift of nature, native to Southeast Asia, is strictly prohibited in public places. One Thai company has dared to transform the durian into a candy while retaining its distinctive characteristics.

Musk sticks

These pink confections are extremely popular in Australia and New Zealand. Sugary, overly sweet candies leave a specific cologne taste in the mouth.

Tequila lollipop

Tequila can not only be drunk, but also chewed and licked. Now the popular drink comes in the form of lollipops. The worm, scorpion and other nasty arthropods that were present at the bottom of the bottle migrated under the sugar icing of the candy. So snacks included.

Kit Kat with wasabi

Nestle, which produces and sells Kit Kat chocolate bars around the world, takes into account national taste preferences. So in Japan, where wasabi paste has become a cult, it is generously added to branded sweets. Residents of the Land of the Rising Sun are very happy.

Salsaghetti

If you combine Salsa sauce and spaghetti, you get an interesting Mexican delicacy called Salsagetti. These are fruit-flavored chewy candies, generously coated with a layer of chili pepper. Visually, they resemble the well-known type of Italian pasta.

Chocolate bar with cheese and onions

The Irish company Tayto released a trial batch of chocolate with cheese and onion rings on the market as an experiment. Consumers liked the new product and flew off the shelf in a matter of days. The owners of the enterprise are thinking about launching such an unusual chocolate into a series.

Harry Potter's Magic Candy

The little wizard has long since matured, but his work lives on. Fans of the saga are scooping up themed candies on the shelves. They are shaped like beans. The package contains a collection of a wide variety of flavors - from traditional ones, for example, cinnamon, vanilla, apple or banana, to unexpected ones: worms, dirt, soap, raw egg.

Crickets in chocolate

Many people in Africa and Southeast Asia eat insects. It is an excellent source of protein and other nutrients. Crickets covered with a thick layer of chocolate are an exquisite delicacy for the elite.

When you want something “tasty” for tea, you can eat a chocolate bar, a package of marshmallows or ice cream... with the taste of meat. As well as candied squid or sakura-flavored Kit-Kat. This review contains ten of the most unusual Japanese sweets.

Wanting to surprise Japanese consumers, the company Pepsi has developed an exclusive series of drinks for them. In hypermarkets in large cities you can find sweet soda with such unexpected flavors as "yogurt" or "cucumber".

Pepsi from the exclusive "Japanese" series

In Japan, caviar, squid and other seafood are eaten not only as main dishes. The same products in candied form are one of the most popular desserts.

A huge number of Japanese citizens have no idea what hard cheeses look like. But every third person likes to drink a jar or two of thick cheese drink. According to tourists, this “drinking liquid” is more like a sweetish salad dressing.

Thanks to the imagination of Japanese industrialists curry it is possible not only to eat, but also to drink. It is enough to buy lemonade with a flavor identical to the taste of the famous Indian dish.

Eel, regardless of the method of preparation, is a favorite delicacy among the Japanese. So much so that a liquid “variation” of it has been created – a sweet non-alcoholic drink "Raging Eel" (Surgical Eel).

"Chocolate Giant" Nestle, like other Western companies, is “adjusting” its assortment to suit the Japanese market. For example, in addition to the standard Kit-Kat, Japanese youth enjoy chocolates with flavors of green tea, sakura, lemon and lime, and even chili pepper.

Japanese schoolchildren do not need to choose between “yummy” and “normal” food, according to adults. Compromise solution - meat flavored ice cream- chicken wings, beef tongue and horse meat.

Adult Japanese have other joys. For example, chocolate beer.

Or "ladies' gum" Bust Up Gum. According to the manufacturers, customers are guaranteed not only a pleasant sweet taste and fresh breath. Bust Up Gum improves the condition of skin and hair, and also significantly increases bust size.

Unusual Japanese "chewing gum" for girls Bust up gum

Good afternoon, my dears!

First, a little about Urbech.

According to some versions, Linen Urbech is the first Urbech that began to be made in Dagestan. The shepherds always took it, lavash and water with them. And these three products helped them not to remain hungry during the day.

Flaxseeds are the first helpers for the female body; they contain many plant phytoestrogens that help beautiful ladies maintain beauty and health. Linen urbech comes from white and dark flax. The difference lies not only in color, but also in composition and taste. Urbech made from white flax has a more delicate and mild taste. In addition, the amount of lignals and polyphenols, which have increased antioxidant activity, is much higher in white flax.

BENEFITS OF URBECH FROM FLAX:

Reduces cholesterol levels
Improves the condition of bones, ligaments and joints
Protects brain nerve cells from destruction
Reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease
A great helper in the fight against depression
Improves vision
Boosts immunity
Visibly improves skin condition
Helps gently cleanse the body.

I think you have guessed what we will be using today to “sculpt” our unusual and beneficial for the health of our body candies. Absolutely, from linen urbech!

There wasn't much Urbech left when the idea came to my mind to create unusual candies for health and slimness. I want to say that this sweetness will appeal only to those of you who eat healthy food and are used to it. If you like very sweet sweets made from white sugar (for example, 2 cups of sugar in a cake) and trans fats (these are various oils below 82.5% fat, margarine, all refined oils), then you will definitely not like this sweetness. Therefore, first you need to try the urbech itself and decide whether you will prepare these sweets.

Look what I did, try making homemade sweets yourself.

We prepare unusual sweets from Urbech

Ingredients:

• Flax urbech – 2 tbsp.
• Date pekmez (or natural honey – 1 tsp) – 3 tsp.
• Sesame seeds – 2 tsp.
• Sunflower kernel – 1.5 tbsp.
• Vanilla extract – ½ tsp.

Yield of finished sweets: 7 pcs. 15 g each

2. Add sunflower kernels, previously soaked in drinking water for 2-3 hours, and black sesame seeds, which can also be soaked for at least 0.5 hours

3. Mix everything together, getting a fairly dense mass for molding candies

4. Make candies in the shape of balls, triangles, squares, etc., place them on a cutting board or flat dish covered with parchment, and put them in the refrigerator for half an hour or an hour
