Shkedei Marak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shkedei Marak (Hebrew: שקדי מרק) aka Soup Almonds, are mini crisp croutons which are added to soup manufactured by the Osem corporation in Israel. The so called "Almonds" are actually made from flour and oil, they shaped as a small yellow square and come in 400g packs (bit less then 1 pound) Their main purpose is to add flavor and texture to soups.

For many years "Osem" was the exclusive manufacture, however, today companies like "Telma" and "Vita" has their own "Shkedim" but serve the same purpose and relay on the same base.
