The serving weight of cooked couscous differs significantly from that of dry couscous due to its ability to absorb water during the cooking process. Typically, dry couscous expands to about three times its weight when cooked; for example, 1 cup of dry couscous (approximately 160 grams) yields about 3 cups of cooked couscous, weighing around 480 grams. Therefore, when measuring for servings, it's important to consider that the cooked portion will be much heavier and more voluminous than the dry amount.
One cup of dry couscous contains 592 calories, whereas one cup of cooked couscous contains only 176 calories.
