After reading the post about peanut aid, I remembered the story.
In the 90s, my father bought a pair of bags with peanuts, grams of 300-400. Well, gave us with my sister, eat, said, foreign nuts.
I opened the bag, and inside two other small bags, like a bag of spices in the width. Inside was something white, crystalline.
Battya scratched the tail, opened them and poured out the contents of small bags in a large with peanuts. “It’s salt, so it tastes better.”
Well, that's what we and my sister broke peanuts and periodically hit the teeth of crystalline figi. It turned out to be a nifiga not salty and very hard, it had to be tried to rip it out.
A little later, when I was bought another abidas or beebok cross, I found similar bags in every box. So I learned the new word absorbent.
