Organic Spelt couscous is made from an ancient grain.

Organic spelt couscous is made using traditional spelt which is milled down to these speck like grains. Spelt couscous contains the hull of this ancient grain so is higher in a range of nutrients than regular couscous but it still cooks into a light fluffy consistency.  One 120g serving is high in selenium.

Organic Hulled Spelt grain is an Ancient cereal grain which is closely related to wheat.  Spelt is considered ancient because it was first cultivated 9000 years ago.  Many people prefer Spelt to ‘modern’ wheat because its DNA has not been changed by farming methods and it has a more extensive nutritional profile.

Couscous makes great tabbouleh and is perfect for hearty salads and side dishes. Organic spelt couscous is a natural whole food option for couscous lovers, it is harder to find than wheat varieties but it can be used in recipes in the same way.

To make couscous the spelt is moistened and then sprayed into a special oven which helps form the little particles of couscous. The particles are partially cooked under steam, dried and then gently cracked into smaller pieces.

Couscous is similar to pasta in some ways but it is lightly crushed instead of ground so it is less refined.  It is particularly popular in Middle Eastern and North African cuisines but can now be found almost anywhere – although spelt couscous is less common.
