Here are today’s five thing to know about Bagel:

  1. Bagel is originated from Poland and it was designed for Lent. It is normally a ring shaped bread product.
  2. Its name derives from the Yiddish word ‘bengal’, meaning ‘ring’ or ‘bracelet’.
  3. Immigrant Polish-Jews brought bagel to the United States.
  4. Automated production and distribution of frozen bagels started in the 1960s with bagel baker Harry Lender, Murray Lender, and Florence Sender.
  5. The hole in the center of the bagel is for multiple bagels to be threaded onto a dowel, which allows bakers to transport the bagel more easily.
