About Couscous semolina
Couscous semolina, a staple food in North African and Mediterranean cuisine, is traditionally made from durum wheat. Its light, fluffy texture makes it versatile for pairing with stews, vegetables, and meats, while its neutral flavor easily absorbs spices and sauces. Couscous is rich in carbohydrates, providing a quick source of energy, and contains small amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals like selenium, which supports antioxidant activity. While it is low in fat and cholesterol-free, its glycemic index is relatively high, meaning it may not be ideal for those managing blood sugar levels. Whole wheat couscous offers added fiber and nutrients compared to the refined version, making it a healthier alternative. Its quick cooking time and adaptability make couscous semolina a popular choice in balanced, wholesome meals worldwide.
