Found some Couscous

[P-funk]

Just wanted to share with everyone the new couscous that I found at the store today. Since I am done dieting and back to putting on size I love to try and find different carb sources to eat that are what I would consider clean but a bit different than the ones that I eat when dieting (which I still eat a lot of anyway).

Today I was looking for couscous and stumbled upon some made by the company Hodgson Mill. it is Whole wheat couscous with milled flax & soy. The ingredients are couscous (precooked whole wheat durum flour), roasted soy chips, milled flax). There is 450mg of Omega 3 per serving. Here is the Macronutrient profile:

serving size is 1/3c dry (which comes to 1c cooked)

calories- 230
fat- 2g (0 saturated and 0 trans fat)
carbs- 48g total (6g fiber; 1g sugar)
protein- 10g



Just thought I share with anyone of my fellow bulkers.

That looks good. My complaint with coucous was that it's usually just white flour. I've seen Hodgson Mill stuff at health food stores I'll have to look for it.

To my knowledge cous cous is very processed semolina durum flour

Peace.

Odd, I thought couscous was some sort of rice?

I haven't had couscous in so long. That's stuff is sooooo yummmy!

Just like pasta. Traditional pasta is nothin' but highly processed semolina flour too, but can be made from whole grain flours as well. In fact, couscous is a sort of very small pasta.

Canadians, there is a President's Choice whole wheat couscous available.
