About Couscous dry
Couscous Dry is a type of grain-based food made from crushed durum wheat semolina, commonly enjoyed in North African and Mediterranean cuisines. It serves as a versatile base for numerous dishes, often paired with vegetables, meats, and flavorful sauces. Couscous is quick to prepare and offers a moderately high carbohydrate content, making it a source of energy. It is low in fat and contains small amounts of protein and fiber. While it provides important nutrients like selenium, which supports immune function and antioxidant defense, couscous is less nutrient-dense compared to whole grains. For those monitoring blood sugar levels, it is worth noting that couscous has a medium glycemic index. It is an excellent option for light, balanced meals, though combining it with vegetables, protein, and healthy fats can increase its nutritional benefits significantly.
