About Boulghour

Boulghour, also known as bulgur, is a nutritious whole grain made from cracked, parboiled wheat. A staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, it is often used in dishes like tabbouleh, pilafs, and hearty soups. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, boulghour supports digestive health and provides sustained energy. It is a good plant-based source of protein and contains essential nutrients like magnesium, iron, and B vitamins. Its low glycemic index makes it ideal for managing blood sugar levels. As a minimally processed grain, boulghour retains much of its natural nutrients, offering a satisfying and health-conscious addition to meals. However, it does contain gluten, so it may not be suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. Packed with flavor and versatility, boulghour is celebrated for its health benefits and ability to complement a variety of culinary creations.
