What it is

Kūčiukai (pronounced koo-choo-kai) are the centrepiece of the Lithuanian Christmas Eve table — tiny, lightly sweetened poppy seed biscuits that have been part of the Kūčios supper tradition for centuries. Baked from wheat flour and generously studded with poppy seeds, they are characteristically crisp with a delicate, mildly sweet flavour. The name comes directly from Kūčios — the Lithuanian word for Christmas Eve — and eating them at the Christmas table is a cherished ritual. Made by Lašų Duona, a Lithuanian bakery with a long tradition in festive baking.

What’s in the box

One 250g pack of kūčiukai biscuits. Baked from wheat flour with poppy seeds. Ready to serve straight from the pack.

How to enjoy

Traditionally served dunked in warm poppy seed milk (aguanų pienas) or alongside cranberry jelly (kisielius). Also delicious as a stand-alone snack with tea or coffee. Perfect throughout the Christmas season — from Advent through to the New Year.
