Wholemeal couscous is a good source of fibre. Fibre is good for us in many ways. It can prevent blood sugar spikes and keep you fuller for longer. It also helps lower cholesterol levels, which can reduce the likelihood of heart disease. Because fiber moves food quickly through the intestinal tract, it helps prevent constipation. A diet higher in fibre can also reduce the likelihood of bowel and breast cancer. Whole grain couscous can be a healthy substitute for white pasta or white rice. Couscous is not cooked but covered with boiling water or cooking water.
