 Pretty GoodJun 07, 2011
By C. Bullard
Compared to my first tasting of Israeli Couscous from a bag that I purchased and cooked from Trader Joe's, I must say that I don't like this brand as much. But it's still perfectly fine. I just feel that I have to dress it up more to make it as tasty. What I do like is having a huge amount of it in my pantry--ready when I need it.

Very good. I made mine in the microwave and it turned out good. A small amount goes along way. It can be added to other dishes also such as soups.

Delicious and EasyNov 07, 2010
By D. Stone
This product is amazing. I cook it with onions and chicken broth, and then add anything I want. Feta Cheese, bell peppers, pine nuts, lemon juice, olive oil, or I use it as regular pasta and add sauce and meat. This is a delicious toasted pasta that tastes al dente and never mushy or over done, that can be used just like pasta, or just like cous cous, only much better.
Love it, and will always use it. Leave it to the Israelies to come up with an awesome product!!
Rice Is Nice But Couscous Is BetterFeb 28, 2012

Israeli couscous was developed during an austerity period in Israel, when rice was scarce. It is a combination of seminola and wheat flour. Israeli couscous are small, round, pasta-like granules, and is twice as big and is toasted rather than dried. This gives it a nutty flavor and a sturdy composition that gives it a chewy bite and makes it stand up to sauce.
Israeli couscous has become a real favorite in my house. It is easy to prepare and can be mixed with so many other food items.
Israeli couscous is like an entirely different food. It plumps up into luscious individual pearls that pop in your mouth. It is much different than regular couscous, so be prepared for a treat! If you're not familiar but wanting to try it, you can buy Israeli couscous at Amazon!
I like to use chicken or vegetable broth in Israeli couscous, it gives the couscous an almost creamy, hefty base. Mix it with pine nuts and parsley or whatever herbs you like best. This couscous is so luscious and now takes the place of other grains or other pastas.
