The Paulista couscous, also known as Caipira couscous (in Portuguese: Cuscuz caipira; pronounced in Caipira dialect as /kusˈkujs kajˈpi.ɹɐ/) is a Caipira dish influenced by Indigenous, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese cultures. Its main ingredient is the maize flour.
Paulista couscous is different from Berber couscous and other variations of Brazilian couscous, and it is believed that its origins date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, when bandeirantes,[1] when transporting food, mixed all the ingredients they carried, and with this, the maize flour ended up absorbing the taste of other foods, forming the base dough of this delicacy.
