Isabelle Barth-O'Neill Apr 6, 2011:
Il faut voir en fonction du produits - beaucoup de termes peuvent être utilisés
Estelle Demontrond-Box Apr 6, 2011:
I agree that it could translate by either "vermicelles" or "perles" - it depends on your original text or recipe. Have you got a picture?

Otherwise, they call the cylindrical ones 'vermicelles arc-en-ciel' (I have some in my pantry!)

'sugar pearls' are something quite different, please see the Wiki article (link originally posted by Estelle DB, thanks!):

Personal remarks are forbidden ;-)
agree Isabelle Barth-O'Neill : plutôt multiperles - http://www.kookit.com/ustensiles-cuisine/patisserie-pain/dec... OK MAIS LE PRODUIT À L'INTÉRIEUR EST LE MÊME !!!

Merci, Isabelle ! Mais je ne pense pas : ça, c'est un multi-distributeur de plusieurs sortes de perles... Oui, mais c'est un distributeur de multiples perles ; individuellement, elles ne s'appellent pas 'multiperles'
agree Natasha Dupuy : abba-solutely! I've always known the cylindrical ones as "sprinkles" in English

vermicelles multicolores

je pense que ça doit être ça.

merci !
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : Vahiné describe them as 'arc-en-ciel' — but these aren't spherical, like the ones I remember from my childhood in the UK.

Yes either long or little balls. But I think that they are all called vermicelles in French...
agree Tony M : No, the little balls are called 'perles' by at least one manufacturer (who presumably should know what they're talking about!) (more than home cooks, anyway!)

Thank you Tony!
agree Maya M Fourioti : 50g of hundreds and thousands, 30g of sugar pearls...... cela explique '' vermicelles''

Non pareilles

Il s'agit des non pareilles.
Les vermicelles sont les petites décorations en sucre de forme allongée. Les non pareilles sont les petites perles de sucre multicolores. En anglais les deux termes sont utilisés (Hundreds and Thousands et Non Pareils).
