Organic Toasted Pearl Couscous Regular

Our organic toasted pearl couscous regular (also known as Israeli Couscous) is named for its unique shape. It is shaped and rolled into tiny balls and then toasted. This allows it to absorb liquid without falling apart, and distinguishes it from regular couscous and other pasta. Toasting also lends a distinctive, nutty flavor and satisfying texture.

Couscous is made from semolina, obtained by coarsely grinding the heart of robust wheat. Couscous makes an ideal stuffing for peppers, aubergines, and more. Couscous can also be used for sweets, by adding milk, raisins, or almonds.

Locally grown in Canada, buying our organic toasted pearl couscous encourages local farmers and reduces pollution from long-distance transportation.

Storage Tips:

• Nothing beats vacuum sealing for freshness.
• Store below 15°C and < 65% humidity.
• Store in the dark as light degrades flavors.
• Mason jars make great storage containers.
• Can be frozen to prolong shelf life.
