The Israeli breakfast began as a meal for early morning workers in the Kibbutz, a collective community in Israel that was traditionally based on agriculture. The hearty meal was designed to provide the kibbutzniks with the necessary energy for a day of hard work. Over time, the Israeli breakfast has evolved and is now enjoyed by people all over the world.
