Couscous is among the healthiest grain-based products. It has a glycemic load per gram 25% below that of pasta and contains twice as much riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, and folate, and four times as much thiamine and pantothenic acid. In terms of protein, couscous has 3.6 g for every 100 calories, equivalent to pasta, and well above the 2.6 g for every 100 calories of white rice. Furthermore, couscous contains a 1% fat-to-calorie ratio, compared to 3% for white rice, 5% for pasta, and 11.3% for rice pilaf. Middle Eastern Couscous is larger than traditional couscous, which allows it to absorb flavors very well. It is made with semolina flour, the rough endosperm of durum wheat. The size of a peppercorn, Middle Eastern Couscous has been toasted and puffed. You'll enjoy the light, nutty flavor of Middle Eastern Couscous and find that it makes a super salad.
