You’ve already tasted couscous

Most of you have heard about this food, some of them may have tried it. But do you know what it is made of?

These fine-grained balls are pasta made from semolina (a type of hard white wheat). They are delivered in an industrially produced instant variant, which does not affect their taste or nutrition at all. Manufacturing is very demanding. The whole grain couscous, which has a variety of nutrients, is more suitable.
