About Fregola
Fregola, also known as Sardinian couscous, is a small, round pasta originating from Sardinia, Italy. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, it is traditionally toasted, giving it a distinctive nutty flavor and golden hue. Fregola is often used in soups, salads, or paired with seafood and flavorful sauces. As a source of carbohydrates, it provides energy, but its nutritional profile varies depending on preparation and added ingredients. Durum wheat in fregola contains some protein and iron, but it is refined, meaning it lacks the whole grain benefits of fiber for digestion and heart health. While fregola is low in fat, serving sizes and accompanying foods can impact its role in a balanced diet. As with any pasta, moderation and healthy pairings can make fregola a delightful option within a nutritious eating plan.
