About Uncooked couscous
Couscous is a small, granular pasta traditionally made from semolina wheat. Originating from North African cuisine, it has become a staple in global diets due to its versatility and mild flavor. It serves as a base for a variety of dishes, often paired with vegetables, meats, or sauces. Uncooked couscous typically contains carbohydrates as its primary nutrient, along with small amounts of protein and fiber. It is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making it a heart-friendly option when prepared healthily. Whole wheat couscous offers higher fiber content, promoting better digestion and sustained energy. However, regular couscous may lack significant vitamins and minerals, and its calorie count can increase depending on preparation methods. For those with gluten sensitivity, couscous is not suitable as it contains gluten. Enjoyed simply or as part of elaborate meals, couscous fulfills cultural and nutritional roles across cuisines worldwide.
