Turkish Coffee: A Deep-Rooted Heritage and Its Connection to Health
Hande Nur Onur Öztürk, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Istanbul Gelişim University, shared detailed insights about the history, cultural significance, and health benefits of Turkish coffee.
Introduced to Ottoman lands in the 16th century, Turkish coffee quickly became an integral part of society and led to the emergence of the “coffeehouse” culture. These venues became important meeting points for discussions on literature, art, and politics. Turkish coffee has been regarded as a symbol of hospitality and a legacy that strengthens social bonds from the Ottoman era to the present day.
