Casbah Regular Couscous is pre-cooked pasta and therefore conveniently cooks under 5 minutes in a bowl with hot water (no stovetop required). Couscous is a staple dish in North Africa, and has since gained tremendous popularity worldwide. It can be served as a side to any protein, can be added to soups, salads, or can be served as a main dish as a bed to any stew or vegetables. Plus, Casbah now offers this product in a clear jar bottle that is BPA free! You can now easily see what is inside your product, making it quick and easy while shopping in the isle. This new packaging format can also easily be opened and closed, making it is very convenient for storage.
