Giant couscous (Hebrew: פְּתִיתִים, p'titím, lit. 'flakes', singular: פְּתִית, p'tít, lit. 'flake')[2] – sometimes called pearl couscous – is toasted pasta in tiny balls. It has been a common food across the Middle East since being introduced by Moroccans in the Early Modern period, hence one of its other many names, Moghrabieh (couscous from the Maghreb). Despite its name in English, it is not a type of couscous (Hebrew: קוּסְקוּס, kus'kus). The pearls are similar to the ones of the maltese mhamsa.
