About Puffed couscous
Puffed couscous is a light, airy twist on the traditional North African staple, made by applying heat or steam to pearl couscous grains, causing them to expand and create a crunchy, puffed texture. Originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, this versatile ingredient is often used in salads, trail mixes, or as a topping to add texture to dishes. Puffed couscous is primarily composed of semolina wheat, making it a good source of carbohydrates and providing energy. It also contains small amounts of protein and dietary fiber, which support digestion and muscle health. While it is lower in calories than fried snacks, its lack of whole grains means it has fewer nutrients compared to whole wheat couscous. It’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal, paired with vegetables and lean proteins to increase its nutritional value.
