Couscous, what is it and where does it come from?
Couscous , also called couscous, is an ingredient of Moroccan origin made from durum wheat semolina that has a very interesting traditional composition. Couscous was born as a traditional dish of Berber cuisine that spread to other parts of the world through Al-Andalus, where it began to be highly appreciated and popular among the Moors who lived in the peninsula. Over the centuries, this ingredient has become famous throughout the world, both for being an icon of Moroccan food and for its excellent flavor and the properties it provides. Today it continues to be the basis of the diet in many of the populations located in North Africa and has become a recurring dish in cuisines anywhere on the planet.
Couscous is obtained from semolina that has not become flour after grinding the hard part of the wheat . When the small semolina grains are cooked, they swell by absorbing water, increasing their size and acquiring their characteristic shape. It can be accompanied by sauces, vegetables or foods of your choice and its texture and flavor are very interesting.
