The original warrior energy bar made in Georgia 🇬🇪💪❤️ #food #shorts

Churchkhela has been a favored snack in many countries for thousands of years. However, despite this, it is still relatively unknown to the wider world. People not familiar with the food often mistake its appearance for a whole number of things ranging from sausages to sticks of dynamite!

Naili Basiladze shows us how to make a traditional Georgian churchkhela with grapes harvested from her own vineyard. Strings of nuts are repeatedly dipped in a mixture of grape juice and flour. Once dry, the finished result is a deliciously sweet stick of churchkhela.

Churchkhela’s extremely long shelf life is a testament to its historical use. Being naturally rich in the calories found within the grape juice, it provided sustenance to Georgian soldiers who would often need to travel long distances.

When I went to Georgia, I saw this shopkeeper making it, seeing me look so interested in it, he allowed us to see how it was made and even allowed me to dip one myself.
Him and his wife were so hospitable and even though their shop was small, they were very generous to try some of the Georgian sweets, spices and wine in their shop for free.

I loved this sweet and they explained that a lot of people make it for Christmas. It was some nuts tied to a string then dipped into this thick sauce that was made from fruits and hung to dry, it tasted sort of like fruit leather, and I absolutely loved it.

She seems like an incredibly happy and lovely person, the type to always be down to have tea or share cookies with someone

We have something similar in turkey, its called “cevizli sucuk”. It can be roughly translated to “sausage with walnuts”
