Carbs and Fiber in Couscous Food Item: Couscous, dry Couscous and CarbsGrains and oats (like Couscous), have a high carb count but a lower "net carb" or "digestible carb" content. They contain several vitamins and minerals. Grains and oats are often a good source of dietary fiber, which has a number of health benefits. For example, fiber helps protect against digestive disorders and disease. Healthy low carb diet plans typically recommend grains and oats in later phases of the eating plan, when you are permitted more carbs - although whole grain varieties are preferred. For more details about carbs in grains and oats, see below. Couscous and Glycemic IndexOats and grains which are higher in insoluble fiber content (mainly cellulose) are digested more slowly, and are thus lower on the glycemic index, which helps to maintain more stable blood glucose levels and healthier glucose metabolism. Eating more fiber helps to reduce the effect of high glycemic index foods by lowering the glycemic value of meals. Note: Nutritional values for grains and oats can vary, so the above carbohydrate and dietary fiber details for Couscous are intended as a guideline only. |
