Vermicelli is used in the production of seviyan (vermicelli pudding), which is a very popular dessert, especially in the month of Ramadan. The Muslims' holy month of Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, and it is believed that the revelation of the first verse in the Koran was during its last 10 nights. It is celebrated yearly by praying during the night and abstaining from eating, drinking, and sexual acts during the period between sunrise and sunset. It is also a time for socializing, mainly in the evening after breaking the fast, and a shift of all activities to late in the day in most countries. (Photo by Shahzaib Akber/EPA/EFE)
