About Whole wheat cous cous
Whole wheat couscous is a small, granular pasta made from whole wheat flour. Originating from North African cuisine, it’s a staple in dishes from regions like Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Unlike traditional couscous made from refined semolina, whole wheat couscous retains the bran and germ of the wheat, making it a more nutrient-dense choice. It's a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting satiety, and provides a moderate amount of protein to support muscle health. Whole wheat couscous is also rich in essential nutrients like magnesium, iron, and B vitamins. Its low-fat profile makes it suitable for various diets, though portion control is key due to its moderate carbohydrate content. Quick and easy to prepare, it serves as a versatile base for salads, stews, or side dishes, blending seamlessly with Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and other global flavors.
