About Israeli couscous
Israeli couscous, also known as ptitim or pearl couscous, is a small, round pasta made from wheat flour and water. It was invented in Israel during the 1950s as a rice substitute. Larger than traditional couscous, it has a chewy texture and nutty flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in salads, soups, and side dishes. While Israeli couscous is low in fat, it is primarily composed of carbohydrates and lacks significant amounts of fiber compared to whole grains, as it is typically made from refined wheat. However, some varieties may be made from whole wheat, offering higher fiber content. It is a good source of energy and can be part of a balanced diet when paired with nutrient-rich ingredients like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Often featured in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, it adds a unique texture and flavor to a wide range of dishes.
