Whole Wheat Couscous

Whole Wheat Couscous

EverydayDry

Whole wheat couscous is a nutrient-dense pasta made from cracked durum wheat that retains its bran and germ, distinguishing it from refined couscous varieties. This quick-cooking grain alternative requires only boiling water to rehydrate, yielding a slightly nutty flavor and chewier texture than traditional couscous. As a whole grain, it provides significantly more fiber and micronutrients per serving while maintaining the convenience of standard couscous preparation.
