FREGOLA SARDA, SMALL
FREGOLASM-8
Description:
Fregola Sarda (pronounced FREG-o-la) is often referred to as Sardinian Couscous. Fregare means “to rub” and this Fregola Sarda is made by rubbing coarse semolina wheat and small amounts of water together to create irregularly shaped nuggets that are dried. These light golden to tan nuggets are then toasted to a deeper shade of golden brown giving it a delicious roasted nutty flavor. Dense and chewy, this pasta is wonderful as a side dish, in salads or cooked like risotto. Preparation is easy, pour boiling water or broth over the couscous and cover, let stand till liquid is absorbed to desired firmness, approximately 25 minutes, or cook as you would any other pasta to desired tenderness then drain and fluff with fork. Ideal for soups since it can absorb a large amount of water without getting mushy. Fregola Sarda has a special kind of dietary fiber called resistant starch. This starch helps maintain blood sugar and improves digestion. This product contains Wheat. Available in three different sizes, small, medium and large.
