Do you know the food "couscous" that originated in North Africa? It is a small granular pasta made from wheat flour and is also eaten in parts of the Middle East, Europe and South America.


It has a strong exotic name and looks like pasta, but the taste is normal. You can enjoy a bubble wrap and chewy texture. You don't have to boil it, just mix it with hot water and steam it.





There are various uses. You can mix it with vegetables to make a salad, use it as a side dish for stewed dishes (this is the common way to eat it locally), or use it as a soup ingredient. It is convenient because you can increase the volume of food in the amount you like. You can eat it hot or cold.





The taste is completely different, but it has a rice-like atmosphere and is friendly. You can get it at big supermarkets and KALDI, so if you see it, try it!
