Description

  • Our Tri-Colored Couscous is a blend of plain, spinach- and tomato-flavored couscous, made of tiny pearls of durum wheat semolina pasta. Whether served hot or cold, Tri-Colored Couscous is versatile and absorbs flavors well, offering a colorful presentation with minimal labor.
  • Couscous is made from durum wheat flour called semolina that is moistened and rolled into form and then coated in finely ground wheat flour. Traditional couscous is extremely labor-intensive to prepare and is usually steamed. The most prominent kind of couscous typically found in supermarkets today is the quick-cook type.
  • Couscous is traditionally paired with meats and vegetables and served with a sauce. It provides a unique alternative to rice or pasta, due to its adaptability to a variety of flavor profiles. In addition couscous is extremely popular and commonly served in many culures, where it has been adopted as a traditional dish.
