Is couscous healthy?

Answer 1

couscous is as healthy as any other pasta. Couscous is a moroccan pasta and is the size of small beads. It is usally served with a lemon/lime vinergete (either one or the other) diced red peppers and such. It is rather delicate so trying to use a cream type sauce would drowned it as well as over welm it. It is really good served with grilled chicken breast.

Answer 2

Is Couscous Healthy

Answer 3

Well it is a pasta, however mixed with the right ingredients it is healthy and delicious, I like to add low fat Italian dressing, garlic, finely chopped tomato(no seeds), green onions, red peppers, peeled and seeded cucumber, and a splash of lemon or lime. If you do a cream sauce you may as well be having fettuccine Alfredo, which on occasion is OK.

Answer 4

Yes it is. If you are watching your carb intake you might what to eat couscous is smaller portions.

Answer 5

of course it is! I´m out of the country right now, and as I´m running out of meal ideas, I was quite disappointed to find out it was not sold here, because it is healthy and delicious. Just watch the amount of additives!

Answer 6

It is durum wheat, a grain with gluten that spikes blood sugar levels when eaten so I don t think it is

Answer 7

By itself. But, like anything, you will probably want to add to it to make it more appetizing. The additives are what you should meter.
