Our Moroccan Spiced Couscous is a blend of seasoned semolina pasta pearls and a fragrant combination of turmeric, dried chiles, orange peel and mustard. It offers the convenience of a shorter cook time than traditional couscous.
- Mostly yellow with flecks of green and red
- Tiny granules, the size of a pinhead
- Carefully balanced sweet and savory flavor
- All natural
Made from semolina flour that is moistened and rolled into form, couscous provides a unique alternative to rice or grains due to its adaptability to a variety of flavor profiles. Couscous is native to North Africa, where it is traditionally paired with meats and vegetables and served with a sauce. Can be used like rice or pasta to provide unique texture and variety. Serve with vegetable or meat-based Moroccan tagines or stir-fries.
