Regular couscous is made from semolina wheat, while whole-wheat couscous derives from the whole grains of durum flour. This flour derives from durum wheat, which is high in protein and commonly used for other fare like pasta and pizza dough. A whole grain has its endosperm, germ and bran intact.
Whole-wheat couscous has only 1 gram of total fat and 0 grams of saturated fat and cholesterol per 55 grams uncooked. Total fat intake for the day should be 25 to 35 percent of all calories consumed. Saturated fat is the type that you need to be concerned with.
