Trader Joe's Organic Couscous Has a Fluffy Texture & Mild Flavor

— March 31, 2024 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's is making it easier than ever to enjoy a classic North African staple with the debut of its new Organic Couscous product.

For those unfamiliar with 'the food so nice they named it twice,' couscous is a signature North African dish made from tiny steamed balls of semolina flour. Trader Joe's version is made by a supplier who makes and mills the couscous from organic wheat grown in the U.S. The result is a ready-to-prepare grain that can be cooked in just minutes with a little bit of water or broth, and a microwave or stove. The end result is "a hearty, fork-fluffable side," that pairs perfectly with a number of meat, veggies, and seafood proteins.
