Couscous is pasta...... But this is gluten free couscous. I've never seen such a thing so I don't know what it's made of.
I also don't know what is meant by clean.
But I know that carb sensitivity varies from one person to the next, and it pays to keep an eye on carb content. I still wouldn't throw out perfectly edible food, though, and I think it was that comment which has riled a lot of posters.0 -
Hate to break it to you but cous cous is pasta. Nothing clean about pasta.
Oh really? I didn't know. Thank you. Straight for the bin then.
I get you want to minimize processed food and eat 'clean', I think that's a good thing. I do it too.
But throwing away perfectly good food??? It's couscous, not a twinkie FFS. JUST EAT IT.
Nothing gets on my nerves more than throwing away perfectly good food. Just because it's 'a little high in carbs', BIG F-N DEAL. Avoid eating every day if you can, but having it for lunch won't kill you or suddenly make you gain 10 lbs.
Seriously, this made me so upset....0 -
I'm with you girlygirl I too just want to eat clean more fresh fruits and vegetable not necessarily for low carbs intake...0

if you washed it before cooking, then yes it is clean.
Best comment in whole thread.0 -
It's pretty hard to define a food as "clean" or "not clean" without an ingredient list.
If you decide you just can't eat it, try to give it away. Don't waste it.0 -

Really hope OP is messing with us.
has to be, because bloating and stuff from the ground got me thinking......beans, night shade plants, day shade plants, plants in general, plant specific, turtles, all need to be cleaned 'otherwise bloating will occur' I'm using most of this thread for stand-up next week, thanks to all for participating.0 -

Do you weight lift? Are you wanting to gain musle and get an ultra flat stomach that isn't bloated with bad foods? Well that's me. I'm diabetic and I'm wanna eat low gi foods that keep my sugar level balanced also , I don't want rubbish foods...
I'm trying to get a flatter stomach by eating less food than calories I burn. Working so far and has previous times, regardless of the food I ate - in fact, when I ate generally clean (sic) it wasn't as effective because I wasn't so much following proven research.0 -
orthorexia----> Orthorexia is not mentioned in the widely used DSM[a], but was coined by Bratman[4] who claims that in rare cases, this focus may turn into a fixation so extreme that it can lead to severe malnutrition or even death.
from the wiki above...thought it said Batman.....I do not recall Batman ever using this term.0 -
It's perfectly clean if you rinse it under the tap.0

Honestly, I don't care what you eat. But throwing away perfectly good food is unacceptable. Please,...donate it, give it to a friend, a neighbor,...really, anyone will do.0 -
You can donate the free cous cous to me I stead of the garbage! I haven't even had cous cous in years, but I'll take the free food! No need to waste! I eat a carb heavy diet and I don't find that carbs bloat me. Carbs do not bloat everyone across the board. I think my stomach looks pretty decent even with my carb heavy, dirty diet. The definition of "clean eating" is a personal preference. There is no one, true definition so what you should do, instead of asking a bunch of differently opinionated strangers on the Internet if you should eat something is google what cous cous actually is, decide if it's something you want to try, if yes then try it and decide If you like it. If you like it, eat it. If you don't, then don't, but for goodness sake, don't be wasteful
Eta: I'm not sure if gluten free cous cous would even be good, but I do like regular cous cous.0 -

For the record; the smiley was to help make it clear it was a joke!
When housemates in a shared house have left, I've usually been the first one to scavenge everything I can.0 -
I don't want bloating stomach foods?
Agreed!!! people get soo defensive when anyone mentions eating clean!!! I know it makes me feel amazing and thats why I do it , it might not be for everyone !! to each their own !!!
Unless you have celiacs or a gluten intolerance, carbs will not bloat you.
Oh i eat carbs !!!0 -

In this instance I agree with you. Cous cous is perfectly good and nutritious source of carbs and should be donated to a food bank. Having worked with and used food banks in the past, it's better to toss the sodas and cookies in the trash.0 -
