This 2.2 lb (35.2 oz) bag of USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan and Kosher couscous gives you a versatile pantry staple that blends easily with vegetables, broths, dressings and spices. Made from durum wheat semolina, the granules hydrate fast and deliver a pleasing bite that works cold in salads or warm as a side dish. It’s a convenient, shelf-stable ingredient for weeknight meals, meal prep bowls, and inventive baking projects where you want a light, grain-like texture.

How do I cook Yupik couscous for fluffy results?

Cooking is fast and forgiving—steep the dry granules in warm liquid until they absorb moisture and soften. The grain size lets them plump quickly without long simmering, so you avoid overcooked, sticky results when you follow simple hydration steps.

• Bring water or broth to a gentle simmer (roughly 1:1 liquid to couscous by volume for typical texture).
• Remove from heat, stir in couscous, cover and let sit undisturbed about 8–12 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork, season, and finish with olive oil or butter to separate grains.

What meals and recipes benefit most from this couscous?

The neutral, slightly nutty flavor makes this couscous a chameleon ingredient in savory and some sweet dishes. It pairs well with robust dressings, roasted vegetables, broths and herbs, and can even add texture to baked goods when used thoughtfully.

• Cold grain salads with citrus, herbs, olives and chopped vegetables.
• Hearty side dishes served with stews, roasted meats or plant-based mains.
• Light stuffing for vegetables, or mixed into soups to add body.
• Incorporated into breads or muffins for a unique crumb and texture boost.

Is Yupik couscous suitable for specific diets and nutritional goals?

Yes—this product is certified organic, Non-GMO and labeled Vegan and Kosher, making it compatible with many diet choices. It provides plant-based protein and fiber that complement balanced meals, though it is a wheat product and not gluten-free.

How should I store this couscous to keep it fresh and flavorful?
