What You Should Know

You'd spot this turmeric pearl couscous tucked in the pasta/grains aisle or on a meal-prep shelf, ready for a quick weeknight side or a colorful base for a grain bowl. It gives an earthy, wholesome vibe — bright turmeric color and a slightly toasted, chewy pearl texture — and the short ingredient list (wheat flour, turmeric) suggests industrial shaping/toasting but minimal added additives, so it feels practical and health-forward rather than indulgently processed.
