About Couscous with raisins

Couscous with raisins is a flavorful dish originating from North African cuisine. Made from steamed durum wheat semolina, couscous serves as a versatile base for various meals. In this version, sweet raisins are added, balancing the dish with bursts of natural sugar and a chewy texture. Often enhanced with aromatic spices like cinnamon and a touch of honey, the dish combines savory and sweet elements, making it a comforting and satisfying choice. Couscous provides a source of carbohydrates and is low in fat, while raisins contribute antioxidants, fiber, and essential nutrients such as potassium. Though nutritious, the sugar content in raisins can contribute to added calories, so portion control is key. Pairing this dish with vegetables or lean protein can further enhance its health benefits, offering a balanced meal that reflects the rich culinary heritage of its origin.
