Description
- The original name may be derived from the Arabic word Kaskasa, meaning "to pound small" or the Berber Seksu, meaning "well rolled", "well formed", or "rounded"
- Consisting of many tiny granules made from steamed and dried durum wheat, couscous has become a popular alternative to rice and pasta
- A 1 cup serving of couscous provides only 176 calories, which is 8% of a standard 2, 000 calorie diet. This is far less than the calories that a cup of rice
- It has a light fluffy texture which is a little bland in flavor but which readily soaks up the flavors of other ingredients
- Couscous may also be used to make a breakfast tabbouleh salad. Though usually cooked it water, it can also be cooking in another liquid, like apple juice, and served with dried fruit and honey
