Israeli Couscous

OliveNation Israeli couscous is a versatile ingredient that can be used as anything from a main dish, a side dish, a salad, or a delicious texture boost in soups, sauces, and stews. While they may look like a grain or seed, these small round balls are actually formed from toasted durum semolina flour and are technically a form of pasta. Also known as ptitim or pearl couscous, Israeli-style couscous is larger and more dense than traditional or Moroccan style and has a slightly chewy texture. This versatile pasta is ideal for use as a vegan-friendly main dish, as a side dish, in hot or cold salads, and can also be used in soups and stews to add texture and taste. Bulk pearled couscous is ideal for food service and restaurants as well as home use and makes a perfect base for bowl-style meals. Try this versatile pasta as a substitute for rice, quinoa, or other grains and pastas.
