Can anyone identify this beautiful grain?
Believe it or not this gorgeous cold salad was on the salad bar at work. Kudos to Lakeland Regional Medical Center for having more healthy and interesting choices! Maybe one day they’ll even get around to labeling things! One step at a time…
So, I need your help! What the heck is this mystery grain?

It looks like couscous.
It looks like pearl couscous…possibly a barley pearl couscous. It is used in salads a lot. Go with that
I believe this is Israeli couscous – looks delish!
Agreed. Israeli couscous. What are the little reddish brown bits?
that is definitely red quinoa – it’s really good and nutty, plus it packs a good protien punch
That’s what I thought. Huge fan of quinoa, but have never had the red. Yum.
Thanks so much guys! I’d never heard of Israeli couscous but it was delish!
it looks like israeli cous cous with some red quinoa.
