White Couscous (£ per kg)

Description

Whole-wheat couscous is a whole grain, which means it offers more fibre and slightly more nutrients than plain, refined couscous. Although couscous looks like a grain, it’s technically a pasta – it’s made with semolina flour from durum wheat, mixed with water. Easy to store, quick to prepare and super-versatile, couscous is a great addition to any midweek menu

It’s a great source of the antioxidant selenium, protein, fibre, and a healthier alternative to white rice. 

How to cook: It’s easy to make by simply pouring boiling water over the dried couscous and leaving to stand for 5-10 minutes. Add your desired ingredients. 

Some recipe examples include: Orange, apricot and carrot couscous, or lentil & coucous stuffed peppers from Cookie + Kate.
