The History of Organic Couscous

Organic couscous dates back to ancient North Africa, where it was traditionally hand-rolled from durum wheat or barley. This staple food made its way to the Mediterranean region, particularly in countries like Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, where it became an integral part of the local cuisine. Over time, the demand for organic and healthier food options has led to the widespread production of organic couscous, catering to the modern consumer's preference for natural and sustainable products. Today, organic couscous continues to embody the cultural heritage and culinary traditions of the Mediterranean, offering a nutritious and versatile option for contemporary cooking.
