About Bulgur
Bulgur is a nutrient-rich, quick-cooking whole grain made from cracked and parboiled wheat, commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Known for its nutty flavor and chewy texture, it serves as a staple in dishes like tabbouleh and pilafs. Bulgur is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals such as magnesium, iron, and manganese. It's low in fat and a heart-healthy option that can support digestion and provide sustained energy. Protein content in bulgur makes it a good addition to vegetarian diets, although pairing it with legumes can enhance its amino acid profile. However, as a wheat product, bulgur is not gluten-free, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. Its versatility and nutritional benefits make it a wholesome choice for a variety of meals, from salads to side dishes.
