Different Types of Couscous
If you’re not overly familiar with couscous, you may be surprised to learn that there are several different varieties available.
- Moroccan couscous is small in size and typically made of semolina. This type of couscous is often pre-cooked, so it only needs to be steamed for 5-10 minutes to make it light & fluffy again.
- Israeli couscous is also normally made from semolina, but it’s larger in size and has been toasted, giving it a nuttier flavor profile.
- Pearl couscous is the largest variety. It’s often referred to as Lebanese couscous or Mograbiah. It’s made from durum wheat or semolina flour, but due to its larger size, it takes a little longer to prepare.
You’ll find all three varieties of couscous used in the following vegan couscous dishes.
