Couscous is hulled, coarsely ground durum wheat grains, essentially tiny pasta. It originates from North Africa. The granules, a by-product of stone milling, were kneaded together very finely with flour and water. Nowadays, it is mostly made by machines. Thanks to pre-steaming, it can be prepared very quickly, even without cooking.
