Where did CousCous Originate?
CousCous dates back 1000 years and finds its roots in Maghreb (North Africa) where it is said to have originated from the “Berbers”. It was introduced to other parts of the world by the Arabs more than 400 years ago and spread through Europe in the 17th Century. CousCous remains a stable diet for North African countries. Traditional cooking of CousCous was in a “Couscoussière”, a special pot used for steam cooking. This wonderful food has now crossed the borders of tradition and ethnicity to become a contemporary and inexpensive food, being used in modern day Moroccan cooking and can be found in Moroccan restaurants. The simplicity of the product, with its versatility and convenience, are among the reasons for its growing popularity. In addition to the traditional North African dishes, CousCous can be served hot as a substitute for pasta, rice or potatoes; chilled and stirred into marinated salads with vegetables and fruits; or used as a base for meat or chicken.
