Cous-cous is a pasta, or wheat product. I would imagine it's nutrient breakdown

when rehydrated with just water should be very similar to that of a wheat based

starch. From ESHA Food Processor: 3.23 oz or 100 gm cooked w water: Excha =

1.4 bread/starch, cals 112, pro 3.79gm, cho 23.22 gm, fat 0.16 gm. marginal

vit/min content.

I buy and cook Isaeli couscous very often (yum-yum) and the product

label I buy states that 1 cup of cooked couscous equals 42 grams

total carbohydrate so seems to be equal to rice as far as

servings/exchanges. Hope this helps and I do suggest trying it if

you can find it!!
