About Cooked couscous
Cooked couscous is a small, fluffy grain made from semolina wheat, originating from North African cuisine. It’s a staple food in countries like Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, often served as a base for stews, meat, or vegetable dishes. Nutritionally, couscous provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy and contains small amounts of protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as selenium, which supports immune health and antioxidant function. It is naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a light and versatile option for meals. However, whole grain or whole wheat couscous offers higher nutrient content and fiber compared to refined versions, which may be less filling. It's a quick-cooking, convenient dish, but individuals seeking higher protein or fiber may need to balance it with other nutrient-rich ingredients like legumes or vegetables in their meals.
