Moroccan Couscous

Moroccan Couscous

EverydayDry

Moroccan couscous is a pre-steamed, dried pasta made from semolina wheat, renowned for its rapid preparation and versatile use in North African cuisine. Though often mistaken for a grain, this refined wheat product cooks in minutes to a light, fluffy texture ideal for absorbing sauces in tagines or serving as a base for salads and vegetable dishes. While lower in fiber than whole grains, it provides a moderate carbohydrate source and contains notable selenium content.
