Israeli couscous is larger than regular couscous, lending a more substantial and satisfying bite. These pearly grains are made from wheat flour, and have a nutty, pasta-like taste. Our brand cooks up fluffy and light, giving you the opportunity to use these grains as a blank canvas on which to create a meal masterpiece. One easy way to make an inspired dish is to add some spice to your couscous with harissa.

A very versatile dish, you can saute these with onions and garlic and eat simply with a dash of salt, or you can get creative by simmering Israeli couscous in a tomato sauce with garbanzo beans. Use it as a substitute for risotto and drown it cheese with sliced asparagus and white wine. Try a lamb, spinach and feta dish, or if you’re in the mood for a sweeter meal, add apple slices, cranberries, cinnamon, and allspice. For breakfast, try it with coconut milk, apricots, almonds, coconut slivers, and agave nectar for a power punch that helps you greet the day.
