Couscous is a staple in North African cuisine.   Made of semolina and steamed wheat flour it is actually pasta and not a grain.
 
Whole wheat couscous is delicious, full of healthiness and quick and simple to prepare.  Just pour over some boiling water, wait a few minutes for it to hydrate and then fluff with a fork.  Use it instead of rice, add it to salads and soups, mix  with Italian meals, tomato sauces, creamy dishes, fried vegetables and any savoury treat you can think of!
 
Couscous is a fantastic source of minerals, vitamins and other great health benefits which makes it one of the healthiest grains in the world.
