Chef's Note
The grain effect:
According to nutritional studies, carbohydrates should represent at least 50% of our daily dietary intake. Eating various kinds of grains, a source of carbohydrates, helps create balanced meals.
You can add a few spoonfuls of bulgur (cracked durum wheat), buckwheat, quinoa or crushed hazelnuts to add a different texture to traditional couscous.
