Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks, and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about couscous. Some benefits of couscous are that it is rich in selenium, a decent plant-based protein option, and is easy to cook! It takes on whatever flavor you cook it in, which can make it very adaptable for the meal you are making. However, the carb count is significant, which may spike your blood sugar. Jenn feels there are better options on the market that are more well-rounded, but this doesn’t mean you have to eliminate it entirely. It can be a great option to switch up your routine or get you started on moving towards more whole foods. Like what you're hearing?
