Reis bulgur is known for its nutritious and satisfying properties and has a golden yellow color. While it is used as a basic ingredient in many traditional dishes, it is also added as an auxiliary material to different soups. With its coarsely chopped grains for rice, it is an ideal choice for both vegetable pilaf and meat pilaf. Since it has an easy-to-cook structure, it is boiled for a short time or roasted after soaking in water and used as a basic ingredient in salads with different vegetables. Bulgur, which does not disappear when cooked because it does not have a very fine structure, is directly added to various meat dishes and vegetable dishes or can be used as an auxiliary material. Food, which is considered an important source of nutritional values, helps the development of the body with its rich structure, especially in protein. Coarse bulgur, which has a long shelf life and is resistant to moisture, can be easily stored in your home without losing its nutritional values.

Pomegranate molasses is, in essence, reduced pomegranate juice. Like when you reduce balsamic vinegar, cooking down pomegranate juice creates a thickened syrup with a much more potent flavor. This syrup can be used as a condiment, or added to various dishes to enhance their flavor.

Orzo are tiny pieces of pasta resembling large flat pieces of rice, traditionally used in pilafs, soups, salads, warm side dishes and one-plate meals. At Piyale, we have been making traditional pasta (“makarna” in Turkish) since 1922 using high-quality Durum and soft wheat semolina. Orzo made with Durum wheat tends to hold its shape like al dente pasta, while orzo made with soft wheat has a more risotto-like texture. Use Piyal Risi to make a delectable nutty pilaf by toasting the pasta in butter or olive oil for 4 to 5 minutes with rice or bulgur, before adding your cooking liquid and aromatics. For a simple and delicious side dish, serve our cooked Risi in a light tomato sauce, topped with Feta or parmesan cheese. For a wonderful dish that can be savored hot, cold or at room temperature enjoy our cooked orzo with peas, sautéed onions, mushrooms, fresh mint and lemon zest. Piyale Risi is a natural ingredient for a host of soups, including minestrone and Sehriye Corbasi, a traditional Turkish tomato and vegetable soup. Our Risi makes a delicious filling for stuffed veggies and a wonderful base (instead of polenta or rice) for seafood, poultry and meat dishes.
