Product information

In contrast to wheat couscous, this variety is made solely from Moroccan barley semolina that has a subtle nutty taste. The distinct texture of Barley Couscous is produced by sprinkling the semolina with water to form small pellets. The pellets are then sieved repeatedly until all the semolina has formed into little granules of couscous. Use as a base for a wide variety of hearty Moroccan style dishes.

Product of shrinkflation

Been buying this couscous as a gluten free alternative for a few years now but very disappointed to have received a box today that looked much smaller than usual. Looked online and found out that it has indeed been reduced in size by 100g for the same price as it was before. This product tastes great but I wont be purchasing it anymore due to the shrinkflation. Very disappointing.

Unlike the most recent reviewers I have used this often and find it easy and delicious. It is well worth toasting it first (instructions on packet) and then proceed as instructed. Wonderful nutty flavour and not soggy at all. Particularly tasty if prepared in good stock.

Unusual consistency

Similar to other reviews, I had a terrible experience when following the very simple instructions. The consistency and texture of the couscous was mushy and did not fluff up as expected. Perhaps I had an off-batch, I'm not sure? I'm unable to return the item therefore will be placing it in the bin and shall not order it again. Very disappointing!

just choose another one

Bought this as my usual one wasnt available, followed the packet instructions and ended up with an inedible mush. Tried adding less water - same outcome - just a bizarre consistency.
