How does this compare in taste to your plain pearled couscous?

It basically tastes the same. I think the turmeric is more for color than taste. I have used both types and have even combined the 2 and didn't notice a change in taste. I am still experiencing with how to make it and what I season it with because I only recently discovered the pearl form through Hellofresh and different recipes tell you different ways of cooking it. Definitely needs some seasoning and some butter or a lite sauce.

The ingredient list only states wheat so it probably isn't whole wheat. You might want to contact the manufacturer or check their website for more information. I am usually sensitive to wheat, but this hasn't bothered me like most processed wheat foods do.

Tasty and Flavorful Pearl Couscous

Really tasty pearl couscous with a nice texture and mild turmeric flavor. It cooks well and turns out fluffy without sticking together. Works great as a side dish or base for meals with vegetables, chicken, or sauces. Easy to prepare and adds a little extra color and flavor compared to regular couscous.

Great stuff, why didn't I find out about this sooner?

I've seen "cous cous" on menus before but never ordered it. It looked boring or like a vegetable, perhaps. However, I was making a "we mail it, you cook it" type meal that came with a small portion of cous cous, and was pleasantly surprised by the result. I had added some chopped green onions, garlic and oil to cook it in, so not just plain cous cous, but it was like eating a (more) starchy version of those boba balls you can get with big straws and Thai Ice Tea or other drinks. These are very roughly the size of green peas, rather than the size of rice, as other cous cous varieties I've tried since have been. The bigger ones taste better to me, and are easy-peasy to make. Add about 50% more water than the amount of cous cous you want to make. Cook/stir for roughly 5 minutes, adding whatever seasoning you want (butter, oil, garlic, onions, cilantro, pepper, heck, all all of this stuff if you want), and there you go. I'd probably give it a 4.5 stars, since I try not to give perfect scores.

Easy to fix, great flavor

Easy to cook, great flavor. Prefer the one with turmeric. After the first one was such a success we bought to keep in stock for impromptu meals. Great for camping / rv cooking.
