Couscous 500g

We get our couscous from Morocco. Actually “couscous” refers to the Moroccan dish including the grain, vegetables and meat.

Couscous is a versatile and light grain that often gets mistaken for a pasta, but it’s actually made from crushed durum wheat semolina. It’s a staple in North African and Mediterranean cuisine and has become popular worldwide for its quick cooking time and ability to absorb flavors from spices and sauces.

One of the great things about couscous is how easy it is to prepare. The most common form, instant couscous, is super simple—just add boiling water or broth, cover, and let it steam for about five minutes. Fluff it up with a fork, and you’ve got a delicious, fluffy base for all kinds of meals. It’s a perfect time-saver for busy days when you need something quick but satisfying.

Nutritionally, couscous is a good source of carbohydrates, making it an excellent energy booster. It’s also lower in calories than other grains like rice or quinoa, so it’s a great option if you’re watching your calorie intake. Plus, it provides small amounts of protein and fiber, though pairing it with veggies, lean proteins, or legumes can round out the meal and add extra nutrients.

Couscous is incredibly versatile and takes on the flavor of whatever it’s cooked with, making it a blank canvas for creativity. You can enjoy it hot or cold, mixed with fresh herbs like parsley or mint, tossed with roasted vegetables, or served with stews and grilled meats. It even works well in salads, like a refreshing tabbouleh or a warm, spiced couscous bowl.

Whether you’re using it in a simple side dish or a hearty main, couscous is a quick, flavorful, and nutritious option that can easily be dressed up or down, depending on what you’re in the mood for. It’s definitely worth keeping stocked in your pantry!
