What Is Giant Cous Cous?

Giant Couscous, is similar to regular couscous, a whole grain-like food made from semolina or wheat flour.

Because of its size, Giant Couscous, has a slightly chewy texture, similar to barley, and, because it's toasted, it has a slightly savoury flavour.

The original name may be derived from the Arabic word Kaskasa, meaning "to pound small" or the Berber Seksu, meaning "well rolled", "well-formed", or "rounded".

Delivery + Shipping
Because we're a marketplace with many different vendors, the items in your basket may come from multiple warehouse locations, in more than one shipment.

We attempt to make this clear to you throughout the process via the following:
  • On each product page we show the vendor details, the estimated shipping and delivery dates and the shopping cost for a given product.
  • We display estimated delivery times in basket, checkout and confirmation email
  • At checkout we display the number of deliveries and associated costs (if any) with each shipment.
Individual vendors may offer free delivery when a minimum threshold or amount. If so, this is messaged in the lime green shipping and delivery information just below the buy buttons on a product page. ArtisanBox at a store level offers free delivery on any basket of products valued at over £100 (excl. shipping charges) using code FREEDEL at checkout.
