Couscous with Fruit is a flavorful dish combining tender semolina-based couscous with a colorful array of dried and fresh fruits such as raisins, apricots, dates, or pomegranate seeds. Originating from North African and Middle Eastern cuisines, this dish offers a delightful balance of sweet and savory, often enhanced with aromatic spices like cinnamon or nutmeg and a drizzle of honey. Couscous serves as a low-fat, carbohydrate-rich base, providing sustained energy, while the fruits contribute natural sweetness, fiber, and vitamins such as vitamin C and potassium. Though nutrient-dense, this dish can be high in natural sugars, especially if paired with sweetened dried fruits or syrups. For improved balance, fresh fruit can be emphasized, and optional nuts or seeds can add protein and healthy fats. Couscous with Fruit is a versatile option, enjoyed as a light side, a breakfast, or even a dessert in some traditions.
