Buy Couscous Wholesale

Couscous, a staple in North African cuisine, is made from semolina wheat. It is steeped with water, rolled to form tiny granules, and then dried. This results in a light, fluffy grain product that is ready for packaging.

• Step 1: Semolina wheat is moistened with water.
• Step 2: The moistened semolina is then rolled to form tiny granules.
• Step 3: These granules are dried, creating the finished product.

Quality can be affected by factors such as the quality of the semolina wheat used, the size of the granules, and the drying process.

Couscous comes in different varieties, each with unique characteristics and uses.

• Moroccan Couscous: This is the smallest variety, with a light and fluffy texture. It's commonly used in salads and as a side dish.
• Israeli Couscous: Also known as 'pearl couscous', this variety is larger and has a chewy texture. It's often used in soups and stews.
• Lebanese Couscous: Also known as 'Moghrabieh', this is the largest variety and is used in traditional Lebanese dishes.

When buying Couscous in bulk, there are several factors to consider to ensure you choose the best product.
