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".
Consisting of many tiny granules made from steamed and dried durum wheat, couscous has become a popular alternative to rice and pasta.
Why Should I Get Organic Couscous Spelt ?
A 1 cup serving of couscous provides only 176 calories, which is 8% of a standard 2,000 calorie diet. This is far less than the calories that a cup of rice or quinoa holds, which provide 205 and 254 calories per cup, respectively.
It has a light fluffy texture which is a little bland in flavour but which readily soaks up the flavours of other ingredients.
Couscous may also be used to make a breakfast tabbouleh salad. Though usually cooked it water, it can also be cooking in another liquid, like apple juice, and served with dried fruit and honey.
Instruction For Use:
To Cook: Pour 1 cup couscous into boiling water, stir once with a spoon, cover with a lid, and remove from heat. Let the couscous steam for five minutes. Couscous grains tend to bind together in the cooking process, so fluff the grains with a fork. Garnish with a fresh lift of herbs.
Storage Instructions:
Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and damp.
Packaging Details:
Eco Friendly 100% Recyclable Packaging. Re-sealable pouch for Long Lasting Freshness!
