Almond couscous is a flavorful and nutritious dish that combines the light, fluffy texture of couscous with the crunchy richness of almonds. Originating from North African cuisine, couscous is a versatile grain typically made from semolina wheat. In this variation, toasted almonds are mixed in to enhance the flavor and provide a satisfying crunch. Often prepared with olive oil, herbs, and spices, almond couscous can also include dried fruits for added sweetness. Rich in fiber and plant-based protein, couscous is a healthy substitute for heavier grains, while almonds contribute heart-healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium. However, the caloric density of almonds and any added fats or sugars should be considered for portion control. Almond couscous pairs well with roasted vegetables or lean proteins, making it a wholesome side dish or main course option for health-conscious meals.
