I'm trying to eat more healthy grains during my pregnancy, and I was thinking of trying couscous. Is couscous considered a healthy and safe option to include in my diet while pregnant? Any recipe ideas are welcome!
Yes, couscous is actually a great, light option during pregnancy. It is packed with selenium and fiber, making it a healthy alternative to rice or maida.
We usually eat traditional grains, but my daughter-in-law makes couscous sometimes and my doctor said it's highly nutritious. You can definitely include it in your diet.
Since it has a decent glycemic index compared to white rice, it's a good choice, especially if you have PCOS or insulin issues. Still, watch your portion sizes.
