Maun Simit (5 Pieces) – 550 g

The Turkish bagel, simit, was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2019. The OED defines simit as “a type of ring-shaped bread roll originating in Turkey, typically coated with molasses and encrusted with sesame seeds before baking.” While this definition is accurate, it misses one important thing: love! Simit is the perfect harmony of flour, water, salt, yeast, molasses, and sesame seeds, all baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven.

Simit is an essential part of any Turkish breakfast. Its crisp, golden crust and sesame-covered exterior make it a delightful treat on its own, or paired with spreadable cheeses and dips. This classic, crunchy Turkish bagel (simit) pairs wonderfully with tea, coffee, herbal teas, or ayran. It will elevate your breakfast into a festive experience! Enjoy simit as a breakfast staple or at any time of day.

It's the sesame seeds on a Turkish bagel that make it truly special. Here’s why sesame seeds are so beneficial:

• Sesame contains powerful antioxidants like sesamol, sesamin, and sesamolin.
• It strengthens the immune system.
• Rich in iron and vitamins, sesame is a natural remedy for anemia.
• Studies in Japan have shown that sesame oil may help protect against intestinal cancer.
• Sesame oil is high in lecithin, which supports brain and nerve cell health.
• The vitamin E in sesame seeds is good for heart health.
• Sesame helps lower cholesterol and high blood pressure. Research suggests that sesame oil can help regulate cholesterol levels.
• Sesame oil can even act as a natural sunscreen, offering protection against UVA and UVB rays.
