Learn More About the Product

Middle Eastern couscous, also known as Israeli couscous, is a petite, pearl-shaped pasta made from durum wheat semolina flour.

The word "couscous" derives from the Arabic word "kaskasa," meaning "to pound small." Middle Eastern couscous is used in a variety of dishes because of its sturdy, toothsome texture and how effectively it absorbs flavors. Unlike the smaller Moroccan couscous, Middle Eastern couscous is about the size and shape of a peppercorn. This larger size gives it a chewy bite and allows it to stand up to more substantial sauces.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, spinach powder and oleoresin of paprika. Contains wheat.

Cooking Instructions: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add 1 cup of couscous and stir. Boil gently for 10 minutes and strain. Rinse under cold water to halt cooking.
