Couscous from Palestine
- In stock, ready to ship
Couscous, called maftoul in Palestine, is made from durum wheat that has been finely ground, steamed, and shaped into small grains. It is one of the healthiest grain products and is of high quality. Palestinian couscous is coarser, with larger grains and more fibre, and is suitable as a healthy alternative to pasta or rice.
Preparation: Pour 1 part boiling water over 1 part couscous in a bowl and cover with a lid. Leave for 5 min. It can, for example, be mixed with herbs or used in salads.
We import couscous from Taybeh Brewing Co., which buys from the Rural Women's Development Cooperative in Taybeh, formed in 2005. They produce couscous using traditional methods, where it is rolled by hand and sun-dried immediately after production. The production creates jobs for Palestinian women in the West Bank.
Taybeh is an internationally recognised company that was established in the West Bank in 1994.
The company is run by a Christian Palestinian family and has become a symbol of cooperation, respect, and peaceful coexistence between religions in a turbulent region.
