Why Should I Get Organic Couscous Wholewheat ?

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.

Instructions 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.
