There is some mystery to the history of cous cous. Some historians suggest that it's likely that cous cous spread from Northern Africa along the Mediterranean coast through travel, trade, and migration. Regardless, it's a light grain made from semolina that can be prepared very quickly, so has been a staple for families and busy people for centuries.
