Dolce Vita Toasted Pearl Couscous

Couscous is rounded ground semolina, a type of wheat. This Israeli toasted pearl couscous is larger than traditional couscous. When cooked, it has a toasted, nutty taste and a soft, light texture. Simply combine toasted pearl couscous with oregano, basil, or your own blend of herbs, seasonings, and vegetables. Couscous gets much of its flavor by toasting it in oil or butter in a pan prior to cooking it water or broth. Perfect as a side dish or an easy lunch all on its own, this is one couscous recipe you need to try straight away. Vegetarian and vegan, pearl couscous also has a low glycemic index, making it a healthy and high-fiber food Although the couscous granules look like grains, couscous is actually tiny ground pasta made from a type of wheat called semolina. Unlike other pasta, which is mixed with water and eggs into sheets, couscous is made by rubbing semolina between wet hands until minuscule pieces are formed. The couscous is then dried and later cooked in boiling water. Israeli couscous is also a type of pasta but consists of granules that are much larger about the size of small pearls. Made from wheat flour and semolina, Israeli couscous has a ball-like shape and is toasted, rather than dried, after the granules are formed. This process gives Israeli couscous a nuttier flavor and chewy bite that adds an unexpected touch to regional recipes. We offer Israeli couscous, made in the USA, from the finest amber, durum US wheat, thus giving it the premium quality that you can expect. Named for its unique shape, Pearled Couscous (also known as Israeli Couscous or Pearled Pasta) is shaped and rolled into tiny balls and then toasted. This allows the product to absorb liquids and cook up more like rice or risotto. The toasting process gives this product a nutty flavor and satisfying mouthfeel
