How many calories are in 1/4 cup of cooked couscous?

Question

I cooked couscous last night. When I went to read the nutritional value chart, it said 150 calories for 1/4 cup of couscous. Does that mean if it is cooked or raw? Do you think couscous is better than rice? Thanks a head of time!!

Answer 1

If the couscous is whole grain, then yes it is healthier than white rice, but it's just as healthy as whole grain brown rice. And yeah , I think they mean 1/4 cup, uncooked. The stuff expands quite a bit, it's hard for me to eat a whole serving.
