About Bulghur

Bulghur is a versatile whole grain made from cracked and partially cooked wheat, commonly used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and South Asian cuisines. A key ingredient in dishes like tabbouleh and kibbeh, bulghur is known for its nutty flavor and tender texture. It’s packed with nutritional benefits, offering a rich source of fiber, protein, and essential minerals such as magnesium and iron. Thanks to its low glycemic index, bulghur can help stabilize blood sugar levels, making it a great choice for those managing diabetes or seeking sustained energy. Additionally, it supports digestive health and may promote heart health due to its high fiber content. Unlike refined grains, bulghur retains more of its natural nutrients since it is minimally processed. However, as it contains gluten, it may not be suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Quick to cook and highly nutritious, bulghur is a wholesome addition to any diet.
