Nutrition Nugget: Boostcous

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Boostcous, the protein-boosted, fiber-rich couscous alternative made entirely from chickpea, lentil, and pea flour. It checks a lot of boxes right out of the gate: 18 grams of plant protein, 11 grams of fiber, gluten-free, non-GMO, regeneratively grown, and even glyphosate-free with third-party testing to back it up. But does a cleaner ingredient list automatically make something a smart choice for your health goals? Jenn breaks down the nutrition facts, does the net carb math, and asks the questions the brand left unanswered. Is Boostcous a game-changer, or just better marketing on the same old starch problem? You might be surprised where Jenn lands on this one. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?
