Lcdman, millet and couscous are totally different from each other. One is made from durum wheat and the other is a plant.
Millet - The millets are a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses, widely grown around the world as cereal crops or grains for both human food and fodder.
Couscous is made from semolina, tiny granules of durum wheat.
