Couscous calories

Couscous is steamed semolina grain, served under a stew of vegetables and meat. It is the Friday dish of the Maghreb. Plain cooked couscous is here too, for when you count the grain on its own.

Where do these figures come from?

These are the figures the CalJoy app counts with when it recognises a dish in a photo, read from its food table rather than written for these pages. Regional dishes come from CalJoy’s regional table, per 100 g of a typical recipe. Generic foods such as rice, bread or fruit come from CIQUAL 2020, the food-composition table of ANSES, the French food safety agency. Recipes vary from one kitchen to the next, so read this as a typical serving, not as yours.
