About Bulgur wheat
Bulgur wheat is a whole-grain product made from cracked, parboiled wheat kernels, commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Known for its nutty flavor and chewy texture, bulgur is a staple in dishes like tabbouleh and pilaf. Nutritionally, it’s rich in fiber, complex carbohydrates, and essential minerals such as magnesium, iron, and phosphorus. It’s also a good source of plant-based protein, making it a filling, heart-healthy option. Bulgur has a low glycemic index, which helps in maintaining steady blood sugar levels. As it retains the wheat bran during processing, it supports digestive health and promotes satiety. However, because it contains gluten, it’s not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. With its versatile nature and nutrient profile, bulgur wheat is an excellent, wholesome choice for a balanced diet.
