Frequently asked questions
Is Moroccan couscous vegan?
This Recipyx version is plant-based because it uses couscous, vegetables, chickpeas, spices and olive oil.
Does couscous contain gluten?
Yes. Couscous is usually made from wheat, so this recipe has no gluten-free compatible version.
Is this the only authentic Moroccan couscous?
