It is available year-round in large supermarkets in bulk or boxes.It works as a full meal when we club fresh salad veggies with couscous,making crunchy wholesome couscous salad.
Couscous doesn’t have a lot of flavor on its own, but it works well as a base for vegetable. It mixes beautifully into salads and can be flavored with herbs like coriander, basil or mint. It’s a very neutral and nutritious base for all sorts of dishes.
