The pack details above come from the manufacturer. Ingredient research below does not establish the effects of this exact product or independently verify its contents.

Where the colours come from

Wheat flour is joined by spinach and tomato powders and annatto colour. The vegetables are ingredients in pasta; the label does not quantify a vegetable serving.

Compare dry portions

Its 55 g reference portion provides 210 kcal and 8 g protein. Compare by grams because the plain pearl couscous uses a different labelled serving weight.

Cook and dress deliberately

The manufacturer suggests simmering until tender for about 15 minutes. Butter or oil is optional in its recipe; added fats and sauces belong in the finished-meal calculation. Contains wheat and gluten.
