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.More detail ...
