Couscous, 16 oz.

Couscous is a tiny little pasta made of wheat or barley.  In North America, wheat couscous is widely available and is generally quick-cooking. It is a staple to North African cooking, but it's right at home as a compliment to any meal. Try adding fresh chopped herbs, lemon, olive oil and a dash of salt to enhance its naturally subtle, nutty flavor!
