Rice flour (also rice powder) is a form of flour made from finely milled rice. It is distinct from rice starch, which is usually produced by steeping rice in lye. Rice flour is a common substitute for wheat flour. It is also used as a thickening agent in recipes that are refrigerated or frozen since it inhibits liquid separation.

Piyale Chocolate Sauce is an excellent sauce to color and sweeten your muffins, cakes and pancakes. It is ideal for making any dessert you want even more delicious and stylish.

Kuskus is the Turkish appellation for tiny spherical-shaped pieces of pasta classified as “pastina” in Italian because of their very small size. Not to be mistaken for North African couscous, this traditional Turkish pasta (a sister to Greek couscousaki) is classically used in soups and warm side dishes. At Piyale, we have been making traditional pasta in Turkey since 1922. Our Kuskus is a perfect ingredient for chicken, tomato and vegetable soups and great pasta choice for minestrone and Italian Wedding Soup. Prepare our Grandine Couscous as you would any other pasta: boiled in salted water or pan toasted in olive oil and butter before adding your cooking liquid. For a lovely side dish, serve Piyale Grandine Kuskus al dente mixed with sautéed garlic in warm olive oil and top with Feta or grated parmesan cheese. Add sautéed diced mushrooms, shallots, peas and basil to the aglio e olio, for a delectable accompaniment to any main meal. Piyale Grandine Couscous is the perfect size for kids and delicious with tomato sauce or in a stovetop mac and cheese. Once you start working with Kuskus, you will find it is a fun alternative to rice, Israeli couscous and quinoa. Add PIyale Grandine Couscous to your favorite stuffed zucchini or acorn squash recipe for a change of pace from the everyday.

Pasta is one of the world’s most beloved and versatile comfort foods! While the first recorded evidence of noodles dates to ancient China, the dried pasta we know and love today was first refined in the Mediterranean. Farfalle, from the Italian word for “butterflies,” are an iconic and fanciful pasta shape. At Piyale, we have been making traditional pasta in Turkey since 1922, with Durum and soft wheat semolina. PIyale Farfalle are the perfect vehicle to absorb the goodness of oil, cream, tomato and meat-based pasta sauces - from pesto and marinara to alfredo and Bolognese. With a wonderfully pleasing shape, our Farfalle are a festive choice for entertaining and a wonderful ingredient for soups, stir fries and cold pasta salads. For a delicious Mediterranean-inspired warm or cold main or side dish, serve Piyale Farfalle al dente with pesto, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and Kalamata olives. Or enjoy warm or at room temperature with olive oil, sautéed garlic, fresh asparagus, shitake mushrooms, sweet peas, lemon zest and grated parmesan cheese. For an easy Turkish pasta that generations of children have grown up with, mix the cooked Kelebek with olive oil, salt (tomato sauce optional) and top with crumbled Feta cheese.

Lentils were unearthed in the Paleolithic and Mesolithic layers of Franchthi Cave in Greece (9,500 to 13,000 years ago), in the end-Mesolithic at Mureybet and Tell Abu Hureyra in Syria, and sites dating to 8000 BC in the area of Jericho. The ancient Greeks were lovers of lentil soup, as attested to by a comment by Aristophanes: You, who dare insult lentil soup, sweetest of delicacies. Lentil soup is mentioned in the Bible: In Genesis 25:30-34, Esau is prepared to give up his birthright for a pot of fragrant red lentil soup (a mess of pottage in some versions) being cooked by his brother, Jacob. In Jewish tradition, lentil soup has been served at times of mourning, the roundness of the lentil representative of a complete cycle of life.
