Whether you're following a low-carb diet or counting carbs for health reasons, you may be wondering how the carbohydrates in couscous vs. rice compare. While neither ingredient is considered low-carb, they do share their differences. Compared to brown and white rice, couscous usually contains slightly lower carbs per serving. However, when comparing our Traditional Pearl Couscous with our Wild and Brown Rice Mix, the number of carbohydrates is the same. Because both ingredients come from grains, they likely contain more carbohydrates than would be suggested when following a low-carb diet. That being said, though these ingredients may be high in carbs, whole grain couscous and brown rice contain low glycemic scores, whereas regular couscous rates a medium score and white rice rates a high glycemic score. Glycemic scores are measured by the amount of impact carbohydrate-containing foods have on blood sugar levels and foods with a low glycemic score indicate that they do not spike blood sugar.
