Couscous is so pervasive a part of life in North Africa that its Arabic name translates simply as "food". It came to Sicily during a North African occupation of the island, and quickly became as popular as pasta. And couscous essentially is a semolina pasta, though an immensely tiny one, both delicious and versatile. Our quick-cooking Organic Couscous works well with all sorts of seasonal vegetables, hot or cold. And it complements tomato-based sauces so naturally, you’d think it was invented right there in Italy.
