Buckwheat, or common buckwheat, is a plant cultivated for its grain-like seeds and as a cover crop. The name "buckwheat" is used for several other species, such as Fagopyrum tataricum, a domesticated food plant raised in Asia. Despite the name, buckwheat is not closely related to wheat, as it is not a grass.

A traditional Middle Eastern ingredient made from the sugar in the juice extracted from fresh pomegranates. Thick and syrupy in texture, pomegranate molasses provides a sharp, tangy flavor when added as an ingredient to food dishes. It is typically used to flavor chutneys, curries, salad dressings, sauces, or marinades, and may be used to glaze or tenderize meats such as pork or lamb. It is also a common topping for some desserts as well as a savory filling for breads and pastries.

Vermicelli is a traditional type of pasta round in section similar to spaghetti. In English-speaking regions it is usually thinner than spaghetti, while in Italy it is typically thicker. The term vermicelli is also used to describe various types of thin noodles from Asia.

Capellini Cort are short, thin vermicelli noodles classically used in soups and pilafs. At Piyale, we have been making traditional pasta - or “makarna” - in Turkey since 1922. Our delicate short angel hair pasta noodles (Tel Sehriye) are made with Turkish Durum wheat semolina and soft wheat semolina. For a delicious base to a traditional or modern rice pilaf, pan toast our Capellini Corti in butter and olive oil for 4 or 5 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Then add your cooking liquid (chicken or veggie stock will work beautifully), salt and rice. Pre-soaking the rice for 15-20 minutes will shorten the cooking time! If you’re using Tel Sehriye in a bulgur pilaf, toast the bulgur along with the vermicelli noodles to bring out their extra nutty flavor. For a refreshing side dish, top the cooked pilaf with lemon zest or tangy Turkish or Greek yogurt and with minced parsley or mint. Capellini Corti pilafs make delicious one-pot meals with shredded chicken or ground meat and a wonderful base for any saucy dish. If you love making soup, Piyale Capellini Corti are the perfect ingredient for chicken soup, tomato soup and soups calling for barley, rice or couscous.
