Buying advice

When choosing dried couscous, consider the type (fine, pearl, whole wheat) based on your recipe. Fine couscous cooks quickly and is great for side dishes, while pearl couscous holds up better in salads. Organic options are available for those avoiding pesticides. Check prices per ounce for the best value, especially for bulk purchases.
