Why is there no expiration date on the package? I received it today and there is no date anywhere on the package.

I really don't know why there is no expiration date. I know that we bought it and it took several months to finish the entire bag, but had no issues with its' taste or anything.

Is this small or pearl couscous?

I would say it's more of a pearl couscous. Hope this helps!

Where is the expiration/ best by date?

There is no expiration date. It just says to store in a cool, dry place. It is resealable so it should keep quite well for a long long time.

What's the difference between "israeli couscous" and "toasted" flavor? i gather that "traditional" means straight up couscous that hasn't been toasted

The Israeli couscous that I got is toasted. I don't know about a toasted flavor or a traditional type.
