Pearl Couscous with Turmeric: Delicate Texture. Distinguished Flavor.
Pearl Couscous with Turmeric, also traditionally known as Israeli Couscous, is named for its unique shape when formed into small spheres then toasted in an open-flame oven and flavored with beneficial turmeric. This toasting process allows the pasta to absorb liquid without falling apart and distinguishes it from traditional Moroccan Couscous and other pasta such as orzo. Often confused with a plump rice grain such as Arborio Rice, couscous is actually wheat pasta. To learn more about the differences in varieties and a few delicious recipes, take a look at our guide on everything you need to know about couscous.
