Cooked Israeli couscous is a versatile grain-like pasta, originally hailing from Israel. Made from wheat flour, it's shaped into small, round pearls and toasted, giving it a uniquely nutty flavor and satisfying texture. Often called "pearl couscous," it’s a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, commonly served as a side dish, in salads, or as part of hearty stews. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy, but contains minimal protein and fiber. While low in fat, it’s made from refined wheat, meaning it may not offer the whole grain benefits found in alternatives like brown rice or quinoa. Cooked Israeli couscous is quick to prepare and pairs well with a variety of vegetables, proteins, and sauces, allowing for the creation of balanced and flavorful meals when combined thoughtfully.
