Couscous is the glitter of foods.
Couscous is the glitter of foods.
Couscous gets everywhere, no matter how hard you try to keep it contained.
Nature Valley crunchy granola bar has entered the chat, and everywhere within fifteen feet of one being consumed. Heck even unwrapping one sends granola glitter flying.
Quinoa and then each individual escaped piece sticks to everything like glue.

I do not advise ever giving a baby quinoa.
I have never had this experience with couscous. And I have been making and eating it for about 40 years.
I consider myself well-coordinated, but I've had no such luck with couscous. Especially when transferring from the pot to another container. It decides to stick together, then randomly makes an avalanche as I'm scooping, creating a mess of grains from the countertop to the floor.
You know that super flaky dough used in some salty or sweet pastries? Today someone brought a bag of those at work, and the break room was totally nuked as a result. No matter how careful you are, those flakes are going to get everywhere. [insert relevant prequel meme here]

Well, I didn't, so I hadn't put a lid on.
I was still finding the little fuckers several months after the incident, in all kinds of corners of my kitchen.

Ah, "pop like popcorn" was maybe a bit misleading. I mainly meant that it jumped out of the pot violently. It didn't turn inside-out like maize popcorn does.
So, the taste was essentially unaltered. The seed had burst open, though, so maybe that would help, if you wanted to make a sauce more spicy.
