About Couscous with zucchini

Couscous with zucchini is a delightful dish rooted in North African and Mediterranean cuisine, blending simplicity with nutritional richness. Couscous, a staple made from semolina wheat, serves as the base, offering a light and fluffy texture. Zucchini adds vibrant color and mild flavor, contributing essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Often prepared with olive oil, garlic, and aromatic herbs or spices like cumin, this dish highlights heart-healthy fats and phytonutrients while maintaining a balanced profile. Couscous is a good source of carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, although its refined nature offers less fiber compared to whole grains. Zucchini's low calorie content complements the dish, making it a wholesome choice for light meals. Ideal as a vegetarian side or main course, Couscous with Zucchini is a versatile and satisfying option for health-conscious eaters.
