"Whole wheat couscous is a fitting side dish for just about any dinner, but its mild flavor and delicate aroma make it a perfect base for a high fiber breakfast, too. Consider also how quickly it cooks, and you can have a bowl of sweet couscous in about the same time it takes to prepare instant oatmeal."
