Good stuff. I used it instead of rice in a pilaf, and it turned out very nice. Subtle taste, really nice texture. Has anyone else ever used this before?

No, but I love couscous! Is it different from normal couscous or is it just a seasoning method? Man, when I'm backpacking I like live off of the stuff.

It's not technically couscous. I used it tonight just like rice, it cooked more rapidly and I really enjoyed the texture over regular long grain rice.

Israeli couscous is awesome! There is a restaurant in Big Sur that makes it by hand and serves it with a seared pork loin (oh the irony), soo good!
