I have recipes for orange flavor & lemon flavored couscous.

Anything you can do to farfel, rice or barley or orzo, you can do to couscous.

Have you ever bought the boxed flavored mixes?

What’s Quinoa? How does it look in the supermarket? Supposedly it’s a natural berry? That looks like farfel, so I guess that makes it a fruit or vegetable?
