About Bulgar with lentils and quinoa

Bulgar with Lentils and Quinoa is a wholesome and nutrient-packed dish rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. This vibrant dish combines bulgar wheat, a high-fiber whole grain, with protein-rich lentils and quinoa, which is a gluten-free superfood known for its complete protein profile and abundance of essential amino acids. Often flavored with spices like cumin, coriander, and fresh herbs, it offers a delightful earthy taste and fragrant aroma. Rich in complex carbohydrates, it provides sustained energy while being low in fat. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it's an excellent source of iron, magnesium, and folate, contributing to heart health and balanced digestion. Though it’s naturally healthy, portion control is key as the calorie content can add up depending on extras like oil or sauces commonly included in traditional recipes. Enjoy it as a hearty side or nutritious vegetarian main.
