Whole-Wheat Couscous

Whole-Wheat Couscous is small steamed granules traditionally made from durum wheat semolina; whole-wheat couscous is the whole-grain version commonly used in North African and Mediterranean cooking as a side, base for salads, or in tagines. It cooks quickly and is known for its light, fluffy texture and versatility in both hot and cold dishes. As a whole-grain product, Whole-Wheat Couscous provides good dietary fiber — 10g per 100g — and delivers a modest amount of plant protein and minerals such as selenium and manganese. It is relatively low in fat and can help increase whole-grain and fiber content in a meal without adding much saturated fat. From a health perspective, whole-wheat couscous is a nutritious staple that supports digestive health thanks to its fiber and contributes useful trace minerals; its protein quality is moderate compared with some other plant proteins, so pairing it with legumes, nuts, or dairy in a meal will improve overall amino-acid balance.
