About Boiled bulgur

Boiled bulgur is a nutritious whole grain made from cracked and partially pre-cooked wheat, originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. A staple ingredient in dishes like tabbouleh and pilafs, it boasts a nutty flavor and a tender, chewy texture. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as manganese and magnesium, boiled bulgur supports digestive health, heart wellness, and sustained energy. It's also a good source of plant-based protein, making it a valuable addition to vegetarian or vegan diets. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, it is a heart-healthy grain that can aid in weight management by promoting satiety. However, individuals with gluten sensitivity or wheat allergies should avoid it, as it is derived from wheat. Quick to prepare and versatile, boiled bulgur is an excellent choice for adding wholesome nutrition to meals in a variety of global dishes.
