About COUSCOUS
Meijer Couscous is a private-label dry grain product sold under the Meijer store brand by Meijer, Inc., headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Couscous is a small pasta made from coarsely ground durum wheat semolina, originating from North African culinary traditions and widely used as a side dish, grain salad base, or accompaniment to stews and braised proteins.
The sole listed ingredient is durum wheat semolina, reflecting a single-ingredient, minimally processed product with no additives, enrichments, flavors, or preservatives. Durum wheat (Triticum durum) is a hard wheat variety high in gluten protein, producing a firm-textured semolina that holds up well to steam cooking — the traditional preparation method for couscous, which involves steaming the granules in a couscousière or via the quick-soak method with boiling water.
Nutritionally, per 100 grams this dry couscous provides 356 calories, 13.70 g protein, 72.60 g carbohydrates, and 0.68 g fat, with 5.50 g dietary fiber. Protein content is notably higher than many pasta products, reflecting the high-protein nature of durum semolina. Dietary fiber is moderate at 5.50 g per 100 g dry. Wheat (gluten) is the primary allergen, making this product unsuitable for celiac individuals or those with gluten sensitivity. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Calorie density is high on a dry-weight basis but moderate per prepared serving.
