Vegetarian fast food needs better package
This product is packaged in a tin that has a "paperish" pull off top. Why he maker doesn't use microwavable containers is a mystery. The couscous is tasty and has a nice mix of seasoning but heating it really improves the flavor a great deal. The metal containers also make the weight much greater a consideration when packing for travel.
Still it's a nice convenience food for those wanting wholesome vegetarian food in a hurry or on the road. I take it out of the tin and put it in a microwavable safe bowl and zap it for about a minute to bring out the better taste. Serving suggestions to make it even better: mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons of your favorite raw nuts or seeds before heating. My favorites to complement the couscous are cashews sunflower seeds pumpkin seeds Spanish peanuts or sesame seeds. Also try tossing the warmed couscous with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chopped fresh spring onions arugala or parsley.
For better packaged on-the-go grains look at "Annie's Rice Express" products (my favorite is the sprouted brown rice) and "Go Go Rice". These each have a variety of fast vegi-food with light weight microwavable containers and have organic grains available. The St. Dalfour foods are worth buying especially if you enjoy couscous for a nice change from rice.

Good a bit pricey
I'm a long-time customer of McDougall Right Foods dating back to early 2004.
The main selling point of Right Foods cups is that they are "vegan" meaning that there are nothing animal-related in them (no meat fish dairy eggs or byproducts of such). All ingredients are natural (no chemicals added). Even the cup container itself is labeled "food-grade". Some (not all) food cups contain only organic ingredients and some are gluten-free; each cup is so labeled if applicable.
The cups provide a fast snack or meal-idea: pour boiling water into the cup stir let stand a few minutes and eat or pour over such as pasta and rice.
The company does well to make the food cups taste good and each individual will have his/her own favorites.
Keep in mind that McDougall food cups are aimed at the vegan/health-consicious market. Since they are pricey (the large cups go for almost $2.00 each) I wouldn't recommend them for non-vegans/vegetarians as there are many less-expensive (and less-healthy) alternatives. Amazon sells the food cups for less than the Right Foods website does; the company website has a larger variety.
Those who are vegan or thinking of becoming vegan would do well to visit Dr. McDougall's website (drmcdougall dot com) for more information.

Great meal for the busy person.All of the St. Dalfour meals are god but this and the couscous are especially so. I find myself having to ration myself and to defend my ration from others in the household who like the whole grain with beans even more than I do. None of us are vegetarians but this stuff we like.

90 Seconds for Delicious Rice! Unbelievable!As a single person I've gotten away from eating rice -- a rice cooker makes too much at once. For this rice you cut a 2-inch slit at the top of the bag nuke it for 90 seconds and serve it. The taste is great -- I've always preferred basmati rice so it's perfect for me. It's a good side dish for 2-3 portions. I like to have one package with some butter salt and pepper. Rice has never been this easy.

Fabulous productI'm a bit of a health nut and I've always known I should eat brown rice but I never could get it right. It was always too hard or too..something.
This product takes seconds to prepare the serving size is more than generous and the rice has an extremely pleasant nutty flavor. Definitely a good buy.
