Couscous is made from steamed semolina, from the most nutritious part of the wheat. Osem offers medium couscous, which is the most popular form here in Israel. The products are made from natural ingredients only and are very nutritious. Availavle in a bag of 10 pounds. Osem has succeeded in convincing the American Jewish consumer to broaden the range of kosher products that they consume to include convenience foods such as ready-made cakes and personal dehydrated ready meals (manot hamot), health foods such as crackers and pasta, and middle eastern foods such as snacks like bissli and bamba. Osem is really benefiting from the increased demands. | | | Features: | |

 Surprisingly GoodNov 23, 2011

After trying other couscous from the Amazon site I did not have my hopes very high, but I was surprised that this brand is very good. The packaging is awkward though--it is not resealable. I don't understand the references to Israel in the product description. This is NOT Israeli (pearl) couscous. The grains are slightly larger than my supermarket brands and quickly re-hydrates without becoming sticky. It is definitely worth a try.

 great product bad packagingNov 23, 2010

Iwould like to share my experience about the Couscous itself, and about the packaging from Osem it comes in, the couscous is great, and cooks fast, makes delicious North african dishes.
The packaging it came in were torn, taped, and couscous all over the place, the Amazon box wasn,t damaged in any way, so I blame it on OSem? or did Amazon send me an open taped product!

Easy !!!Jan 04, 2011

This is a great Couscous.
Its precooked so it hardly takes any time to prepare.
Just take it in a Bowl...Pour Hot water..and a few drops of oil...and cover and leave it for 5 mins...fluff with a fork...and LO!!!
Excellent soft grained yummy couscous.
We are primarily Rice eaters at my place other than breads...and my extremely fussy toddler acutually ate it like its rice...just a softer fluffier version than the Long grain that we have been used to.
Excellent...great source of fibre...i wasnt sure if I could use it in place of rice...But I just add a pinch of salt it it when cooking..and it works great...Intend to use it for Pulav...Upma...I definitely think its a great healthier and easier alternative.

 disappointed in the Osem companyJan 18, 2012
By La Nonna
The box it came in was roomy enough, that was not the problem. But something caused a hole in the couscous bag, and couscous was all over the box and other items,the couscous bag should have had a double wrapping to prevent this problem from happening. I have purchased this product before, and I love it. But I think Osem should make more of an effort to keep foods sanitary. This is the reason I gave it only two stars.

I love itNov 30, 2011

The little boxes at high prices in the stores always kept me away. It's a great substitute for rice, in 1/4 of the time.
Ditch the instructions on the bag. I think something got lost in translation.
Heat 1.5 cups water in the microwave (oil, butter, bullion optional) and stir in 1 cup of couscous.
Cover and let set for 5 minutes. A little goes a long ways..
