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. A staple of North African cooking, couscous is a healthy grain to add to your diet. Couscous is made from granules of semolina, which is made from durum wheat - the perfect pasta wheat. It is easy to prepare - simply add boiling water and let it sit. Its simplicity allows it to be served in a wide variety of ways, from leaving it plain to adding exotic spices. Create salads, toss it with vegetables, even sweeten it with dried fruits to create a dessert!
