History[edit | edit source]

Shkedei Marak was first produced in the 1950s by the food company Osem. The product was initially created as a way to use up leftover bread, but quickly became a staple in Israeli cuisine. Today, Shkedei Marak is a beloved comfort food in Israel and is often associated with childhood memories.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production process of Shkedei Marak involves mixing flour, palm oil, and salt to create a dough. The dough is then cut into small squares and baked until they are crispy and golden. The final product is packaged and distributed to supermarkets and grocery stores across Israel and around the world.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Shkedei Marak is most commonly used as a topping for soup, adding a crunchy texture and a slightly salty flavor. They can be added to a variety of soups, including chicken soup, vegetable soup, and lentil soup. In addition to soup, Shkedei Marak can also be used as a snack or a topping for salads.

Nutritional Information[edit | edit source]

While Shkedei Marak is a tasty addition to any soup, it is important to note that they are high in sodium and fat due to the palm oil used in their production. Therefore, they should be consumed in moderation.
