    It's great for certain recipes. Really good quality. However, the grains are big - because it's not a traditional couscous, it's called Ptitim. Marketing is misleading.

    Fantastic product! We buy two boxes at a time, both my kids love it. Cooks up so fast, delicious with salt/pepper and fresh lemon. Definitely cook it with veggie or chicken broth, adds depth of flavor. Added touch would be some Romano or Parmesan cheese.

    This couscous is delicious. I like to make it with chicken broth and a little Parmesan cheese and parsley. It’s also great to have on hand for one pan meals on school nights. I was wondering why all the bad reviews because this product has always been consistently good for several years. Looking at the reviews and dates, a product with the word “Israeli” in its name took a sudden turn after October 2023 without verification from any of the reviews that the project was actually even purchased.

    Tastes terrible. Anyone wanting to eat actual couscous should go to the “middle eastern” aisle of their grocery store and buy the Ziyad brand or a different brand from this. Don’t waste your money.
