Honey has been used as a traditional medicine and sweetener since early antiquity. The first recorded evidence of honey production dates back some 8,000 years ago to a cave painting in Valencia, Spain. The second largest producer of honey worldwide, Turkey is reputed for making some of purest and most delicious honey across the globe. The reason: all of its bees come from the Caucasus Mountains. While all excellent honey is 100% natural, one can’t get “more natural” than eating honey in a honeycomb. Pyramid Honey works with select beekeepers in Turkey, choosing only the best honeycombs for your consumption. Our comb honey is the rawest and purest honey available - full of polyphenols, natural antibiotics thought to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Because combs are where honey bees raise their young and store pollen along with honey, the combs themselves have additional nutritional and enzyme benefits. The easiest way to enjoy our honey comb: cut it into small pieces and chew. For an elegant accompaniment to tea, cut the comb into pretty pieces and serve.
Course Bulgur with Vermicelli contains 75% coarse bulgur and 25% roasted vermicelli noodles. Bulgur is made from Durum wheat that is parboiled in water, and sun-dried and milled into distinct grain sizes. Vermicelli are Italian noodles broken into pieces, and a classic pilaf ingredient. The best way to work with Krinos Coarse Bulgur with Vermicelli is to toast the mixture in butter for about 5 minutes to bring out the inherent nuttiness of the bulgur. While water will work, boiling our pilaf mixture in veggie or chicken stock will impart extra flavor to the final dish.

Add yellow raisins to the mixture and top with toasted almonds for a wonderful Moroccan-inspired pilaf. Top with Greek or Turkish yogurt and lemon zest for a refreshing side dish. Add small cooked lentils to the cooked pilaf for an extra protein-rich meal. Or add ground beef or lamb to the mixture and top with toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley or mint for a wonderful one-pot meal.

It doesn’t get more authentic than this! If you grew up in Greece, Mastiha, the tear-shaped resin drops of the Mastic Tree, will remind you of home. Mastiha has been a classic culinary ingredient since ancient Greece used to flavor baked goods, ice cream and the traditional Greek liqueur with the same name. The Greek island of Chios has been dedicated to the cultivation and production of Mastiha (mastic gum) since the Byzantine era, with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) accorded by the European Union. Saradis has been making “spoon sweets” in Chios since 1928. Traditionally offered as a gesture of warmth and hospitality, the custom in virtually every Greek household is to serve a generous teaspoon of “spoon sweets,” with a glass of water or coffee, to visiting guests. Saradis Mastiha Sweets are made with sugar, mastic oil and water. With a thick and creamy fondant-like texture, our Mastiha Sweets have a unique anise flavor, with hints of vanilla and pine. Also known as a “submarine,” these sweets best enjoyed in the classic way: licked on a teaspoon, like a lollipop, between sips of water. Leave the spoon in your glass between sips, and the water will retain its wonderful mastic gum flavor!

Before the advent of baking powder and baking soda, “Baker’s Ammonia,” or ammonium carbonate, was the main leavening agent in the 19th century. Many classic Greek and Middle Eastern recipes call for ammonia, and for good reason! Use Krinos Baker’s Ammonia instead of baking soda or baking powder in your favorite low-moisture baked goods – like thin cookies, pastries, bread sticks and crackers – and you’ll find the end product has a lighter and crunchier crumb. Because our Ammonia is heat activated (unlike baking soda or powder) your baked products won’t start to rise until what you’re preparing goes into the oven. While you will smell the scent of ammonia during baking, it will quickly disappear! Your baked goods will have a fabulous crispness that isn’t duplicated with baking soda or powder – and without the soapy-tasting residue.
