Zaytoun Maftoul 200g | Traditional Palestinian Couscous

Discover the true taste of traditional Palestinian cuisine.

Zaytoun Maftoul is a beautifully handcrafted grain, similar to couscous but with a heartier texture and a distinctly nutty flavour. The word maftoul comes from the Arabic “to roll,” reflecting the centuries-old technique used to create this beloved staple.

Made from bulgar and whole wheat flour, Zaytoun’s organic maftoul is prepared by women who continue the traditions of their grandmothers — cracking the wheat, hand-rolling each grain and drying it naturally under the bright Palestinian sun. The result is a wholesome, characterful grain that carries heritage in every bite.

If you’re looking to explore authentic Palestinian cooking or elevate everyday meals with something more distinctive than ordinary couscous, Zaytoun Maftoul is the perfect place to start.
