7. Couscous
Although couscous resembles a grain, it is a type of pasta that manufacturers make from semolina or ground durum wheat.
Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine often features the food as an accompaniment to other dishes.
Couscous is high in protein and fiber, aiding digestion and helping people feel fuller for longer, which potentially helps with weight loss.
8. Bulgur wheat
Bulgur wheat resembles couscous in appearance, but manufacturers make it from cracked whole durum wheat.
This rice alternative is low in fat, high in minerals, and is a minimally processed whole grain. It can help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar.
