Frequently Asked Questions
- What is durum wheat couscous?
Durum wheat couscous is made from semolina — the coarsely ground endosperm of durum wheat — rolled into tiny granules and dried. It is a staple of North African and Mediterranean cuisine and one of the world’s most versatile grains.
- Is this couscous gluten-free?
No. This couscous is made from durum wheat semolina and contains gluten. It is not suitable for those with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance. For gluten-free alternatives, please see our hulled millet or cornmeal products.
- How long does couscous take to cook?
L'Oro Del Sud Durum Wheat Couscous is ready in just 5 minutes. Simply pour boiling water or broth over the couscous (1:1.5 ratio), cover, and let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- What is the difference between couscous and pasta?
Both are made from durum wheat semolina, but couscous is formed into tiny granules rather than shaped pasta. Couscous cooks much faster (5 minutes vs. 8–12 minutes for pasta) and has a lighter, fluffier texture.

- What are the nutritional benefits of durum wheat couscous?
