Organic Maftoul (giant cous cous), 200g

Maftoul is a traditional Palestinian grain, similar to cous cous and made from bulgar and whole wheat flour. A distinctly nutty flavour makes it a brilliant alternative to other grains such as cous cous and rice and works well in salads, tagines, soup or pilafs.

How to cook: simply rinse the maftoul in cold water and bring 400ml of stock or water to the boil, add the maftoul and simmer for 12-15 minutes.

Ingredients: Bulgur Wheat, Wholemeat Wheat, Flour, Salt, Water.
May also contain nuts and/or seeds.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Store in a cool dry place.

Maftoul (meaning 'hand-rolled') is prepared by women today just as their grandmother's have always done, working together to crack, hand-roll and dry the organic wheat in the glorious Palestinian sun.
