RiceSelect Original Couscous, Moroccan, Vegan, Non-GMO, 26.5 Oz

All I have to say is that it's a little excessive. I like the fact that I can get a 4-pack of cigarettes for a reasonable price. As an added bonus, there is a pack. It's great that I can get this on Amazon. br>br>This couscous brand is one of my favorites. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but whatever, I like it. However, if this is your first time, I would not recommend following the instructions to the letter. To avoid it becoming too dry, always add a little more water. If you go too far, it will become soggy and mushy - Do not, however, attempt number one: There is no one-to-one ratio. Normally, I end up with 1couscous: 15- 25water. Maybe it's because I'm making it on the stovetop, but whatever. Don't be discouraged if your first batch is a little dry; simply add a little more water the next time. It really changes the texture, which is a big factor in flavor. br>br>Anytime you think of a dinner that could use rice as a side dish - think about it. This will work just as well with half the effort (consider how easy it is to make rice). It's also good in cold salads, similar to quinoa. It's nothing more than a few tiny pasta grains - As a result, starch is the culprit. However, with a little olive oil (instead of butter) and some herbs/spices, it can be paired with almost any dish.

Gluten-free is stated in the product description. It isn't gluten-free in any way. The semolina is made from durum wheat.

Purchasing Couscous is a risky business. It should be as fresh as possible. Unless the lid is removed, one has no idea what one will get. I had previously purchased this brand and was extremely pleased with it. Fresh, tasty Couscous at a reasonable price; however, the most recent shipment had a stale odor. I hoped against hope that it was just the first whiff, but no, the couscous itself reeked of staleness, with a distinct note of slightly rancid, old oil. br>In conclusion: A good product in theory, but freshness quality control needs to be improved.

I'm not sure what to say. It's couscous, to be precise. It tastes fine, and I bought it because it had the fewest and most traditional calories of all the other couscous on the market, which were, for some reason, higher than the standard pasta calories. A 2 oz. serving of regular pasta should contain 200 calories. Other couscous, including non-organic RiceSelect, have significantly more calories than their organic counterparts.

I like that this is packaged in a large jar rather than a cardboard box. Because of the larger quantity, it stays fresher and lasts longer, and once it's gone, the jar can be used for other purposes. br>br>Couscous is a filling meal when served hot with steamed vegetables. I prefer it to rice, and I use it to make a cold couscous salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, and feta cheese, dressed with vinegar and oil, as a side dish or a complete meal.

This couscous was fresh and had a long expiration date, and it was cheaper and larger on Amazon. When cooking pearl or Israeli couscous, use vegetable or chicken stock instead of water to add flavor.

Jar in the standard sense. I was duped by the image vs. the actual product; the image makes it appear as if it's an extra large jar, but it's the standard size; I'm irritated by it, but I should have read more.

I was relieved to discover plain couscous in a larger size; of course, we all want the cheapest option, but these weren't bad.
