Giant Couscous
Giant Couscous 1kg is a larger grain style couscous, often known as pearl couscous, made from wheat flour and valued for its firm, slightly chewy texture. Unlike fine couscous, the larger grains keep their shape when cooked, giving dishes more bite and substance. It absorbs flavours well without becoming mushy, making it a reliable base for both simple and more generous meals. With its mild wheaty taste, giant couscous works comfortably with herbs, spices, vegetables and sauces, fitting easily into everyday cooking from quick lunches to family dinners. It is straightforward to prepare and versatile enough to suit warm dishes, salads and one pot meals.

Why does giant couscous have a chewier texture than standard couscous?
The grains are larger and formed from wheat flour into small pearls, which gives them a firmer bite when cooked.
Is giant couscous boiled or steamed?
It is usually simmered in water or stock like pasta rather than steamed, which helps it cook evenly and stay separate.
Can giant couscous be cooked ahead of time?
Yes, it keeps its texture well once cooked and can be cooled and reused in salads or reheated in warm dishes.
