## Description

With a delicate texture and distinguished flavor, pearl couscous, also known as Israeli couscous, is named for its unique shape when formed into small spheres and toasted in an open-flame oven. This process allows the pasta to absorb liquid without falling apart and distinguishes it from traditional Moroccan couscous and other pasta such as orzo. Served in our iconic transparent container, our RiceSelect Pearl Couscous is perfect for any creative culinary endeavors.We only use one ingredient—the highest-quality Israeli pearl couscous—that is free of preservatives, additives, and GMOs. You won’t find high concentrations of fat, cholesterol, or sodium in this couscous, and it’s packaged in our recyclable, BPA-free jar. There’s so much to love about our pearl couscous!Our pearl couscous is made from high-quality semolina wheat and is easy to prepare. Simply add to boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes. Once it’s ready, add sauce as you would with any other pasta. Use it to create tasty lentil soups or as a delicious bed for grilled or roasted fish, vegetables, or red meat. Create refreshing pasta salads, a pearl-couscous Israeli noodle bowl, or even a delicious Mediterranean salad. The only limits are your palate and creativity.

Review: So Easy, So Tasty! - This couscous has become a pantry staple in my kitchen! We eat it weekly (even though my nephew thought it would be funny to stick it up his nose one time). It cooks up in just a few minutes and turns out perfect. I love how versatile it is — I’ve used it as a side dish, in salads, and even as a base for grain bowls. The flavor is neutral but slightly nutty, which makes it perfect for soaking up sauces or mixing with herbs and veggies. Great quality and great value. Highly recommend for quick, healthy meals!
Review: Excellent quality - This pearl couscous is delicious if browned in butter and/or olive oil and cooked in a good strong broth.

## Features

- TRADITIONAL PEARL COUSCOUS: Pearl couscous, also traditionally known as Israeli couscous, is named for its unique shape when formed into small pasta spheres and toasted in an open-flame oven. This wheat pasta variety is easy to prepare and pair with Mediterranean or Middle Eastern flavors and cooks in 10 minutes.
- VERSATILE COUSCOUS PEARLS: These grains are a great pasta side that pairs with sauces, veggies, or protein like lamb. Create a savory lentil soup or a couscous-and-vegetable Greek pasta salad with cheese, hummus, and a lemon vinaigrette. You can also use these pearls to make Moroccan-inspired meals like chicken tagine.
- NON-GMO & PRESERVATIVE-FREE: Our pearled couscous has no other ingredients, so it’s low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium! It’s also Non-GMO Project Verified, Star-K Kosher, and free of preservatives and additives, so even your loved ones with dietary restrictions can enjoy its flavor.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it contain arsenic?**
A: It doesn’t list that in the ingredients

**Q: What is the country of origin for this rice?**
A: My container doesn't say.  It is USDA approved organic but I don't know if that means grown here.  I have been buying it for years after I saw a story about how it is a hybrid developed to compete with India's basmati rice and grown here.  So my answer is I am not sure.  here is a telephone number for the company 800-232-RICE.  It seems like a pretty complicated story involving India suing the producers in the USA.  Texmati is labeled a hybrid so...

**Q: Is there arsenic in your rice?**
A: Not that I could taste. I didn't have it tested in a lab though.

**Q: Why does this product description STILL say Gluten free, despite multiple people pointing out the error? (That’s a false, dangerous claim to make.)**
A: While "gluten free" is not an issue for me, I don't see anything on the label that indicates gluten free. In fact the ingredients list specifically shows wheat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best quality, best price!
*by C***. on January 7, 2026*

This couscous couldn't be easier. If you can make quick rice, you can cook this. Sometimes I prepare it with only a little salt because I am going to serve it with a flavorful main dish like Moroccan Pork Ragu served over the couscous. Sometimes I add herbs, spices and sliced scallions or garlic as a side dish. It can be added to soups and casseroles. This couscous is also great cold in a salad (rather than pasta) with Za'atar spice blend dressing and raw veggies. The more you use it, the more ideas you will have. It will become a pantry staple.
