About Dry couscous
Dry couscous is a small, granulated pasta made from crushed durum wheat semolina. Originating in North African cuisine, it has become a staple across the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. Couscous is quick to prepare, offering a versatile base for a wide range of dishes. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of carbohydrates for sustained energy and contains small amounts of protein and fiber. It is low in fat and cholesterol, making it a heart-friendly choice when prepared without added oils or butter. While couscous is less nutrient-dense compared to whole grains, it can be paired with vegetables, legumes, and lean proteins to create a balanced meal. Its mild flavor makes it an excellent complement to bold spices and sauces from its cuisines of origin. However, individuals on gluten-free diets should avoid couscous, as it is made from wheat.
