When you prepare it correctly, sure. Traditional preparation is to steam it over a broth with large boiled vegetables and some browned meat.

You can also prepare it in some really unhealthy ways; a traditional North African dessert is plain steamed couscous covered in sugar or honey, fruits, and nuts.

Look up the correct way to prepare it if you don't want shitty Western-style "instant" boiled crap. Alton Brown did a halfway decent explanation on how to do it in Good Eats, and there's also a good Bon Appetit video on it.
