Portable Tradition
Expats know the struggle. Longing for something familiar. This 500g pack is an edible passport. One bite, and you’re back home.

How To Enjoy It

Make it quick. Boil water. Add a pinch of salt. In goes the kuskus. Let it simmer and fluff up. Maybe add a dash of olive oil or butter. That’s it. Serve warm. Or cold. Or as a midnight snack straight from the pot. We don’t judge.

How to Cook Kuskus Makarna

Boil 2 cups of water or broth. Add salt and a bit of oil. Pour in 1 cup of Kuskus Makarna. Simmer for 8–10 mins, covered. Fluff with a fork.

For more flavor? Toast it lightly in oil first. Then cook with broth, just like pilaf. Mix in veggies or serve with curry, meat, or yogurt.

Fluffy. Light. Ready in minutes.
