History
The Turkish bagel, known locally as “simit,” dates back to the 16th century during the Ottoman Empire. Originating on the bustling streets of Istanbul, simit quickly became a beloved breakfast staple for the city’s residents, especially due to its accessibility, affordability, and irresistible taste. Street vendors carrying large trays of fresh simit on their heads were common sights, calling out to passersby, creating an iconic image associated with daily life in Istanbul.
Over time, simit’s popularity expanded beyond Istanbul, spreading throughout Turkey and eventually gaining international recognition. Travelers who visited Turkey fell in love with the distinctive crispy texture, rich sesame coating, and slightly sweet flavor. As these travelers returned home, they brought back stories of the delicious street snack, helping simit become known worldwide as the “Turkish bagel.”
Today, simit continues to symbolize Turkish culture and hospitality, enjoyed alongside freshly brewed Turkish tea or coffee. From street carts in Istanbul to cafés around the world, simit remains a cherished culinary ambassador of Turkey’s rich gastronomic heritage, capturing the hearts of people globally with every bite.
