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”.

It's basically just toasted pasta, you'll almost certainly find a brand that's made in your country. It'll be called Israeli Couscous, but just check the back to see where it's actually made. All the brands available in my local store chains are made in either Canada or the US. I've never actually seen one that's made in Isntreal.
