About Raw couscous
Raw couscous is a quick-cooking grain made from coarsely ground semolina wheat or sometimes barley. Originating in North African cuisine, it is a staple in dishes like tagines and salads. Uncooked couscous comes in tiny granules rich in carbohydrates and provides a modest amount of protein and fiber. It contains essential nutrients such as selenium, which supports thyroid health and immunity, and B vitamins that aid energy production. Raw couscous is low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a heart-healthy choice when prepared simply. However, as it is primarily a refined grain, it has a higher glycemic index, which can affect blood sugar levels if consumed in excess. Pairing couscous with vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats helps maximize its nutritional benefits while creating balanced, wholesome meals.
