Non-Israeli Pearl Couscous? (hexbear.net)

I remember going to a “Mediterranean” chain regularly way back and enjoying what I thought was a normal couscous dish before I moved somewhere the chain didn’t exist. I didn’t learn it was Israeli couscous until much later when I tried making some Moroccan Couscous I got from a store.

Even if the actual couscous was great, I’ve been feeling nostalgic for pearl couscous and was wondering if there’s any non-Israeli brand that sells it in the US. Or at least a pasta that’s “close enough”.

This is doesn't answer your question, but I think in most dishes you can substitute couscous for bulgur. Its the same grain but prepared differently and does taste different, more nutty, earthen. Its very popular in Turkish cuisine so there probably are more Turkish brands than Israeli. The coarsest type is pilavlik bulgur. I don't know about availability in the US unfortunately.

I don't know why I keep finding posts where I feel compelled to talk about bulgur. I just think its neat.
