text: I don't like to leave such a poor review, but this product was inedible. I don't know if the couscous was stale or had simply absorbed a strange, chemical odor from the plastic bottle, but whatever the reason, the taste of the cooked product was bad. After opening the bottle and immediately noticing the smell, I was hesitant to actually cook it, but I did, hoping the smell would dissipate. It did not. I cannot recommend this.
