Essential recipes and ingredients during Ramadan 

Ramadan is an important month-long religious observance for Muslims who observe it by fasting, prayer, reflection, and community engagement. 

The 30 day period of fasting begins at sunrise and ends as sunset and observant Muslims eat only before sunrise for the “Suhoor” and after sunset for the “Iftar.” 

The evening Iftar is a popular celebration when Muslims come together and reflect on the importance of Ramadan, their lives and their community and share food with friends and family. 

Ziyad Brothers, one of the nation’s largest distributors of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods that cater to Muslim needs, has identified the top 10 food items and ingredients purchased by Muslims during the Ramadan observance, and features an online database of “Ramadan Essential Recipes” in which these and other ingredients are used.

“There are many popular ingredients featured during Ramadan but among the most popular purchased by consumers are Dates and Date Paste, Jameed, Tahini, Lentils, Labna, Yogurt, Basmati rice, Ghee, Vermicelli and a variety of spices,” said Marissa Ziyad, Director of Marketing for Ziyad Brothers. 

“The most popular recipes in which these ingredients are used include Makloubeh, Mansaf, Molokhiya, stuffed Grape Leaves, Lentil soup, Fattoush salad, Knafeh and Mamoul.” 

Marissa Ziyad said that each recipe in the Ziyad Brothers online database of “Ramadan Essential Recipes” details ingredients and cooking instructions for preparing the popular Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food dishes.
