About This Food

Couscous is a staple in North African cuisine, widely consumed for its versatility and ease of preparation. The calories in couscous is 175.8. It provides carbohydrates for energy and some plant-based protein. It's a source of selenium, an antioxidant. Couscous is generally lower in fat. It's suitable for most people, but those with gluten sensitivities should opt for gluten-free alternatives. A typical serving size is around 1/2 to 1 cup per day. It can be a neutral option for weight management if consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. I suggest opting for whole wheat couscous for added fiber.
