About Ptitim
Ptitim, often referred to as "Israeli couscous," is a type of toasted pasta made from semolina or wheat flour. Originally developed in Israel during the 1950s as an affordable substitute for rice, it has since become a popular ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Ptitim comes in small, round or rice-shaped grains and has a slightly nutty flavor due to its toasting process. It is versatile and often served in salads, pilafs, soups, or as a side dish. Nutritionally, Ptitim is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but it is not whole grain, meaning it lacks the fiber content found in less processed grains. It can be considered low in fat but is relatively high in calories, so portion control is recommended. Pairing it with fresh vegetables and lean proteins can make it part of a balanced meal.
