About Berkoukes
Berkoukes, also known as "pearl couscous," is a traditional North African dish, particularly popular in Algerian cuisine. Made from semolina flour shaped into small, round pellets, it is often cooked in a broth with vegetables, legumes, and sometimes meat like lamb or chicken. Berkoukes is a hearty and versatile meal, celebrated for its ability to nourish during colder seasons. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy, while the vegetables and legumes contribute essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The addition of protein, whether plant-based or animal, rounds out the dish for balanced nutrition. However, the healthiness of Berkoukes can vary depending on preparation; recipes heavy in oil, salt, or fatty meats may make it less suitable for those watching their fat or sodium intake. Overall, Berkoukes can be a wholesome choice when prepared with an emphasis on fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients.
