Description
Bulgar Wheat is an easy-to-cook, super versatile whole grain that is made from the cracked whole grains of different wheat species. One of the most popular bulgur dishes is tabbouleh, a finely chopped Middle Eastern salad. Bulgur's light and nutty flavor makes it a great addition to any dish. Like other whole grains, it has a chewy texture when cooked. It is sold in a variety of grinds, from fine to extra coarse.
Minimal processing separates it from more refined wheats that lack nutritional value. Bulgur is a rich source of fiber (one serving fulfills 30 percent of your recommended daily intake), which promotes digestive and heart health. It is also chock-full of manganese, iron, and magnesium. Bulgur is relatively low in calories, which, when combined with its high fiber content, makes it a great weight loss or management food.
