Couscous is a tiny, quick-cooking pasta made from durum semolina. The fine granules steam to a light, fluffy texture and readily absorb surrounding flavors; cooks use it for pilafs, salads, and as a base for saucy dishes like tagines, with most retail versions pre-steamed and dried for speed.\n\nIt originated in the Maghreb of North Africa and spread across the Mediterranean and Middle East. Traditional production rolls and sieves semolina into granules before drying, while modern mills standardize size and texture through industrial processes.
