Turmeric Spiced Couscous
The sweet figs and almonds in this couscous provide lots of flavor and satiating fiber, as well as magnesium, which strengthens muscles and nerves.
Dried figs are often covered with a white layer of crystallized sugar. This is not a defect, but a sign of good, natural quality.
