About Giant couscous
Giant couscous, also known as pearl couscous or Israeli couscous, is a round pasta made from semolina or wheat flour. Originating from Israel, this versatile ingredient is often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Unlike traditional couscous, its larger size gives it a hearty, chewy texture, making it a great base for salads, stir-fries, or warm dishes. Nutritionally, giant couscous is a good source of carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, and contains small amounts of protein and fiber. However, it's lower in nutritional density compared to whole grains. It pairs well with nutrient-rich vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, helping to balance its higher carb content. For a healthier option, look for whole-wheat versions that boost fiber and micronutrient content. Easy to prepare and adaptable to various flavors, giant couscous is a convenient and satisfying addition to diverse meal plans.
