Common Questions

What are the health benefits of couscous?

Couscous is a good source of complex carbohydrates and fiber, which can help promote satiety and support digestive health. It also contains important minerals such as selenium, which acts as an antioxidant, and potassium, essential for heart health and blood pressure regulation.

What are the health risks associated with couscous?

Couscous is generally considered to be a healthy food. However, it is a type of refined carbohydrate, which can cause spikes in blood sugar levels. Individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance should monitor their portion sizes and pair couscous with protein and fiber-rich foods to minimize its impact on blood sugar levels. Additionally, individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease should opt for gluten-free couscous alternatives to avoid digestive issues.
