Freezing
Cooked couscous freezes remarkably well, retaining much of its texture. Allow it to cool completely before portioning into airtight containers or freezer bags. To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator overnight or gently reheat in a microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to restore moisture. Avoid refreezing once thawed.
Signs of Spoilage
