Couscous has its roots in North Africa but is equally beloved in Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. Historically, it was a dietary cornerstone for Berber tribes and eventually spread across Europe through trade routes. In Italy, couscous is especially popular in Sicily, where cultural exchanges between Arabs and Sicilians during the Middle Ages introduced this beloved ingredient.

In Trapani, a Sicilian city, couscous is often paired with seafood in a flavorful dish called Couscous alla Trapanese. Its light texture and ability to absorb seasonings make it a canvas for Mediterranean flavors, from zesty lemons to fragrant herbs. Today, it’s a favorite ingredient for quick, healthy meals that don’t compromise on taste.
