August is counting its first days and we are finally moving into holiday rhythms...
Although the summer holidays are the annual request and dream of young and old, we have to admit that the protagonists of the holidays are the children. These enjoy the sea, the game, the summer flavors to a superlative degree, which if it were up to them would only include something sweet, from the morning snack to the evening meal. After all, didn't we all do the same when we were little?
What is the most typical taste of the summer snack of our childhood?
The truth is that in our childhood the word breakfast did not exist, nor the word snack. There was and reigned the kolatsio, that is, what we ate in the morning in the yard or on the terrace and in the afternoon on the beach, or as soon as we returned, and it was nothing more than a slice of wet bread with sugar sprinkled with cocoa beans or coffee for full energy and chocolate taste .
It's one of those habits of the past that today seems unrealistic and even abusive to parenting.
The good thing is that, now, along with a healthy diet, we have discovered or many times re-remembered foods that can take memories of the past, like the one we just mentioned, and create new habits of absolute pleasure. Little by little, in Greece, bread with sugar was replaced by hazelnut praline, which along the way gave way to cocoa tahini.
The logic of the snack of our childhood, regardless of its renaming as a snack, remains unchanged: a slice of bread spread with a sweet cream.
What has changed is the perspective of food and upbringing.
OLYMPOS tahini cocoa comes to connect the thread between the Greece of the past and that of today, which is evolving. To give meaning to change through products based on the simplicity and nutritional value of sesame that are transformed into superfoods. After all, the secret of success often lies in the simple, which in itself becomes the best choice. Because sometimes a raw material of excellent quality is enough for the most special taste pleasure.
Because "sometimes the simplest is the best". In life, but also in nutrition.
And the simplest way to get your fill of the Greek summer, young and old, is a slice of bread spread with OLYMPUS cocoa tahini!
