About Wholewheat couscous
Wholewheat couscous is a versatile grain-like product made from whole durum wheat semolina. Originating from North African cuisine, couscous has been a staple in Moroccan, Algerian, and Tunisian dishes for centuries. Unlike refined couscous, wholewheat couscous retains its bran and germ, making it a higher-fiber option. A single serving provides complex carbohydrates, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients such as selenium, magnesium, and B vitamins. Its fiber content supports digestive health and helps stabilize blood sugar levels, making it a nutritious choice for those managing energy levels or weight. Wholewheat couscous is a quick-cooking alternative to other whole grains, pairing well with roasted vegetables, lean proteins, and flavorful sauces. While generally healthy, portions should be monitored since it is calorie-dense, and adding excessive butter or salt may reduce its nutritional benefits. Incorporating it into balanced meals enhances its role in a wholesome diet.
