Semoule de Couscous, commonly known as couscous, is a staple in North African and Middle Eastern cuisine. Made from durum wheat semolina, these tiny granules are steamed to create a light and fluffy texture. Packed with carbohydrates, couscous serves as an excellent source of energy. It is low in fat and contains small amounts of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like selenium—a powerful antioxidant that supports the immune system. Its versatility makes it ideal for pairing with vegetables, legumes, or lean proteins for balanced meals. While couscous provides health benefits, it may not be suitable for individuals seeking gluten-free options. Additionally, its relatively low fiber content compared to whole grains means it might not be as filling or nutritious as other grain alternatives. Easy to prepare, couscous is a delicious and convenient base for many dishes, offering both flavor and flexibility in healthy eating.
