Comments on the site are appreciated. We are always updating - adding new products and recipes and of course, photos.Those of us that live among large Jewish populations are lucky to find many wonderful kosher and Israeli products in our local stores. Sadly, because of the way distributors work, many smaller communities, especially those away from the northeast, don't have the same access. Part of the mission of Zahava Foods is to make these wonderful products available to anyone who has a mailbox.Finally, three of the Pereg Rice Mixes really don't require any cooking at all or any measurements. Simply toss as much or as little as you like into just cooked rice or couscous and cover for about 5 minutes. The dried fruit plumps up nicely and you're ready to eat. The directions graciously posted by Robin apply to the Orange flavor, which contains dried veggies and herbs which must be cooked with the rice.B'tayavon Thanks so much for reviewing both the Zahava Foods site and some of our products.
