About Cous cous
Couscous is a versatile, small granulated pasta made from semolina wheat, originating from North African cuisine. Often confused with a grain, it serves as a staple in Moroccan, Algerian, and Tunisian dishes. Couscous is rich in carbohydrates, making it an excellent source of quick energy, and contains small amounts of protein and fiber. It is naturally low in fat and has a mild flavor that pairs well with vegetables, meats, and sauces. Whole wheat couscous offers more fiber and nutrients compared to refined versions, supporting digestive health and prolonged fullness. Though it has some essential vitamins and minerals like selenium, it should be consumed in balance, as its high carbohydrate content can spike blood sugar levels if eaten in excess. Easy to prepare and adaptable to diverse flavors, couscous remains a popular choice in healthy, balanced meals around the globe.
