About Kuskus
Kuskus, known as couscous in English, is a tiny granulated pasta traditionally made from semolina, a type of durum wheat. Originating from North African cuisine, it is a staple in dishes such as tagines and salads. Packed with carbohydrates, couscous serves as an excellent source of energy and is low in fat, making it a lighter alternative to grains like rice or quinoa. It contains small amounts of protein and fiber, with whole-wheat couscous offering enhanced fiber content and nutritional benefits. While versatile and easy to prepare, couscous is primarily refined, meaning it lacks the vitamins and minerals present in whole grains. Pairing it with fresh vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can create a balanced meal. Due to its mild flavor, couscous readily absorbs spices and sauces, making it popular in diverse culinary applications worldwide.
