Made from crushed durum wheat semolina, cous cous has a light, fluffy texture that goes well with a wide range of flavours and ingredients.

Giant couscous, as the name would suggest, is like couscous but bigger. Technically a hand-rolled durum wheat pasta, rather than a grain, it can be used in the same way as regular-sized couscous. It’s the Middle Eastern cousin to the Sicilian fregula, another couscous-adjacent toasted pasta, that shares its nutty flavour.
