About Pearled couscous
Pearled couscous, also known as Israeli couscous, is a small, round pasta made from semolina flour and water. Originating in Israel in the 1950s, it was developed as a wheat-based alternative to rice. Unlike traditional couscous, its larger pearls offer a unique, chewy texture that pairs well with a variety of dishes, from salads to stews. While not a whole grain, pearled couscous contains carbohydrates that provide a quick energy source and small amounts of protein. It's low in fat, but like most pasta, it has a higher glycemic index, so portion control is important for those managing blood sugar levels. To enhance its nutritional profile, pair it with nutrient-dense ingredients like vegetables, lean proteins, or legumes. Its neutral flavor and versatility make it a popular choice in Mediterranean-inspired and modern cuisine.
