Bissli (Hebrew: בִּיסְלִי, Bisli) is an Israeli wheat snack produced by the Osem corporation. Bissli is Osem's leading snack brand after Bamba.[1]
Over 4,000 tons of Bissli are produced each year in an array of shapes and flavors. Bissli is a crunchy snack that has been likened to fried pasta. The name is a combination of two Hebrew words: Bis meaning "bite" and li meaning "for me."[2]
The most popular flavors are "Grill" and "Barbecue".[1] Other flavors include onion, smoky, pizza, falafel, taco and hamburger.[2] Each flavor is shaped differently: the pizza flavored snacks are shaped like wheels, the onion flavor like small hoops, and the smoky flavor like small hollow tubes.
Described by the manufacturer as a uniquely Israeli product, Bissli is produced at five factories around the United States. It first came out on the market in 1970.[2]
