Savoury or sweet couscous 6m+
51
It can be difficult to find versatile recipes that can be either savoury or sweet. Couscous is a very good starch source and
combined with vegetables and meat or tuna it becomes a complete meal that includes protein, starch and vitamins. But
remember, couscous is a wheat product and should not be given to babies allergic to wheat or intolerant to gluten.
