History of “Brazilebanese”
Lebanese food and culture at Brazilian Day go hand in hand! While you may be scratching your head thinking huh? Lebanese culture has widely impacted Brazilian communities, food, music, and culture for more than 200 years! There is actually more than 7 million Lebanese-Brazilians living in Brazil, that's nearly 2x the number of Lebanese in Lebanon! Lebanese culture has influenced many aspects of Brazil's culture. In big towns across Brazil it is easy to find restaurants of Lebanese food, and dishes, such as sfiha ("esfiha"), hummus, kibbeh ("quibe"), tahina, tabbouleh ("tabule") and halwa are very well known among Brazilians. Lebanese-Brazilians are well-integrated into Brazilian society.
