Middle Eastern couscous, also known as Israeli couscous, is a petite, pearl-shaped pasta made from durum wheat semolina flour. The word "couscous" derives from the Arabic word "kaskasa," meaning "to pound small." Middle Eastern couscous is used in a variety of dishes because of its sturdy, toothsome texture and how effectively it absorbs flavors.
Unlike the smaller Moroccan couscous, Middle Eastern couscous is about the size and shape of a peppercorn. This larger size gives it a chewy bite and allows it to stand up to more substantial sauces.
Couscous can be eaten alone flavored or plain, warm or cold, or as part of a side dish. it is traditionally paired with meats and vegetables and served with a sauce. It provides a unique alternative to rice or pasta, due to its adaptability to a variety of flavor profiles.
In addition couscous is extremely popular in many other cultures, where it has been adopted as a traditional dish.
