About Couscous uncooked
Couscous, a staple of North African cuisine, is a versatile grain made from finely ground semolina wheat. Uncooked couscous has a light, granular texture that quickly absorbs liquid during preparation, making it a convenient option for salads, stews, and side dishes. Packed with carbohydrates, it serves as a quick source of energy and contains small amounts of protein and fiber. Couscous is low in fat, but its nutritional profile may vary depending on preparation and portion size. It is free of cholesterol and rich in selenium, an antioxidant that supports the immune system. While couscous is a nutritious choice for many, its high glycemic index means it may not be ideal for individuals managing blood sugar levels. Originating from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, couscous has gained global popularity for its mild flavor and ability to pair seamlessly with spicy, savory, or sweet dishes.
