A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
Legumes, such as dried beans, peas and garbanzo beans, are a great source of fiber. Eating plenty of fiber helps keep the digestive tract moving. This, in turn, lessens the amount of time the intestinal tract is exposed to foods and breakdown products of foods, some of which may contain toxins.

"This great main dish has the added benefit of containing fruit and vegetables and is quick to cook. Best of all, my family loves couscous!" -JUDY O.
