Bulghur is a versatile whole grain made from cracked and parboiled wheat. Originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, it is a staple in dishes such as tabbouleh and kibbeh. Rich in dietary fiber, bulghur supports digestive health and provides a sustained source of energy due to its complex carbohydrates. It's a good plant-based protein source and contains essential minerals like magnesium, iron, and manganese, which support bone health, immune function, and energy production. Low in fat and containing no cholesterol, bulghur is an excellent option for heart-healthy diets. Its glycemic index is lower than refined grains, making it ideal for steady blood sugar levels. However, as it contains gluten, it’s not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Quick to prepare and incredibly nutritious, bulghur is an excellent addition to salads, pilafs, and vegetarian dishes.
