Gefen Gluten Free Israeli Pearl Couscous 7oz | Delicious, All Natural, Kosher for Passover

Cous cous was my favorite side dish, but always made me SO sick. I then got tested for food allergies & gluten was one of them. I was missing this though, and couldn’t find gluten free anywhere so I finally checked on here (idk why it took me a few months to check amazon my bad) and this got delivered fast. I had it for dinner last night, and for leftovers for lunch today. It tastes exactly the same! I do put a little dairy free butter in it though & salt & pepper. Highly recommend!

We're a celiac family and can't eat gluten. The recipe calls for something like 1c of oil to just make this couscous. Its gross and tastes foul.

This was my first time to cook any type of couscous. I followed the directions on the bag. The recipe that I followed that called for couscous turned out really good. Some times with GF products the texture can be not very good, but with this product the couscous pearls held their shape and had a soft texture that blended well with the vegetables (used Spinach instead of kale), spices & flavors in the recipe.

We loved this gluten-free couscous. It first take a bit longer to cook and requires quite a bit of oil- make sure to read the directions and follow them! Toasting added tons of flavor. The price is steep, like all GF products, so this won’t be a staple per se, but I will definitely buy this again.

This gluten free couscous is amazing. The taste is great and it's so easy to make. the one suggestion I have is to "toast" the couscous on low heat with the oil before adding the water. It may say to use low heat but I am legally blind and had to use AI to read the instructions and I did not hear to use low heat. I kind of burned the first batch but it still tasted good. the second batch I used low heat when toasting or frying it in the oil and it turned out perfectly. In fact I now have this on subscription so that I get a three pack every month!

Fickle cooking conditions. Sticks to bottom of pan so make sure it's boiling when you put it in, as then be sure to keep stirring so it doesn't stick (and I'm saying this about a nonstick sauce pan). Decent flavor texture if it doesn't accidently become mush. Recommend rinsing it after the boil. Ridiculously expensive, and agitatingly in 7 ounce packs instead of a full cup. If it was $5 per cup of pasta or less I would add a star, and if it didn't stick I would add the second star. I will update this if things change for better or worse.

It's so hard to find GF pasta. This is the only GF couscous and it's bigger than the normal stuff so it has a great chewy texture in couscous.

My usual go to gluten free couscous was out of stock and has been for some time so I wanted to give this one a try. The directions were far too complicated for a couscous and it was rather gummy and just not pleasant at all.
