Tri-Color Pearl Couscous: Delicate Texture. Distinguished Flavor.
RiceSelect® Tri-Color Pearl Couscous, 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 subtle hints of tomato and spinach. This toasting process allows the flavored pasta to absorb liquid without falling apart and distinguishes it from traditional Moroccan Tri-Color Couscous and other pastas.
Made from the highest quality semolina wheat, our versatile Tri-Color Pearl Couscous is easy to prepare; simply add to boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes. Once it is ready, add sauce as you would any pasta, or unlock layers of your culinary creativity and use it as a delicious bed for grilled or roasted meat, vegetables or seafood like in this Mediterranean Tri-Color Pearl Couscous with Langoustines recipe. It also makes a lovely addition to warm soups or refreshing salads like our favorite Strawberry Pearl Couscous Salad.

Pearl Couscous vs Rice
While both rice and pearl couscous can be used as a filling carbohydrate for a delicious meal, they are different as rice is a Gluten Free grain and couscous is pasta made from wheat.
However, both are versatile for all kinds of meals and take on the cooking flavors being used for a wonderful main or side dish. To make a refreshing salad, use slender rice grains like Texmati® or pearl couscous to make something fresh and hearty with vegetables and leafy greens. Or, for a more comforting dish, use Arborio risotto rice for a creamy skillet or pearl couscous for a hearty stew.
