Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pasteli a healthy snack?
Yes, traditional Greek pasteli is considered a very healthy snack. It is made from whole sesame seeds and honey, two ingredients packed with nutrients. Sesame seeds are an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats, while honey provides natural sugars for energy. This combination creates a balanced, nutrient-dense food that offers sustained energy and essential minerals, making it a far healthier alternative to processed energy bars or sugary treats. It's a natural superfood that has been enjoyed for its health benefits for centuries.
What is the difference between pasteli and other honey bars?
Pasteli is unique because of its simplicity and the quality of its ingredients. Unlike many commercial honey or granola bars that may contain added sugars, preservatives, and fillers, authentic pasteli like the one from Navarino Icons uses only two primary ingredients: high-quality sesame seeds and pure Greek honey. Its traditional preparation method ensures the preservation of the ingredients' natural nutrients, resulting in a distinct, rich flavor and a dense, chewy texture that sets it apart from more modern, processed snack bars.
