How Is Couscous Produced?

Our couscous is produced from durum wheat grown and processed in France, although alternative origins may also be available depending on sourcing requirements. The production process begins with durum wheat, which is milled into fine semolina. Water is then added to the semolina in a controlled process, allowing the particles to form the characteristic couscous granules. The couscous is subsequently steamed at approximately 100°C for a short period before being dried and cooled to ambient temperature. This process produces the familiar couscous ingredient used by food manufacturers and commercial kitchens.

Couscous is widely used throughout the food industry because of its versatility and ease of preparation.

  • Common applications include:
  • Prepared salads
  • Chilled ready meals
  • Mediterranean and North African dishes
  • Grain bowls
  • Vegetable-based dishes
  • Stuffings and fillings
  • Side dishes

Couscous can also be combined with beans and pulses to create prepared salads and other food products with varied textures.

Couscous as an Alternative to Rice and Other Grains

Couscous provides manufacturers with a convenient alternative to rice and other grain-based ingredients.

Its mild flavour makes it particularly suitable for recipes featuring vegetables, herbs and spices, while its small granule size allows it to be incorporated into a variety of prepared food products.

For manufacturers developing alternative grain-based recipes, Demos also supplies bulgur wheat, quinoa and pearled spelt.

These ingredients offer different textures and characteristics for salads, ready meals and foodservice applications.

As couscous is made from durum wheat, it contains gluten and is not suitable for gluten-free products.
