Tri-Color Couscous is a vibrant blend of tiny, spherical pasta made from durum wheat semolina, dyed naturally with spices like turmeric and paprika to create its eye-catching hues of golden yellow, orange, and white. With origins rooted in North African and Mediterranean cuisines, it is a quick-cooking staple suitable for salads, side dishes, or paired with stews and roasted meats. Nutritionally, couscous is low in fat and provides a steady source of carbohydrates for sustained energy. It's a source of selenium, an antioxidant that supports immune health. However, its glycemic index is moderate, meaning it can raise blood sugar levels; pairing it with fiber-rich vegetables or lean proteins can balance its effects. While not gluten-free, Tri-Color Couscous is a versatile, nutrient-rich base for healthy, flavorful meals.
