Description
A soft, comforting reinterpretation of North Africa’s cherished couscous tradition, this certified organic white rice couscous is handcrafted in Sydney using a minimal-processing method. We begin with premium certified organic parboiled white rice, chosen for its naturally tender, consistent texture. The rice is gently milled and screened through fine sieves until it forms uniform couscous-like granules without extrusion, shaping or additives.
For centuries, couscous has been loved across Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia for its simplicity and lightness. Spice Zen’s white rice version offers this same comforting feel while remaining entirely gluten-free, wheat-free and gentle on digestion. With its mild flavour and creamy softness, it shines in sweet couscous bowls, creamy puddings, parfaits, fruit-based breakfasts and modern desserts. It also pairs beautifully with Middle Eastern stews, vegetable tagines, roasted vegetables, fish and light brothy dishes.
