About Burgul

Bulgur, a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, is a versatile whole grain made from cracked parboiled wheat. It has a light, nutty flavor and a tender texture, making it an excellent base for salads like tabbouleh or a nutrient-rich addition to soups and side dishes. High in fiber and relatively low in fat, bulgur supports digestion and heart health, while its complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy. It’s also a good source of key vitamins and minerals, such as manganese, magnesium, and iron, promoting overall wellness. Because it is minimally processed, bulgur retains much of its nutritional content compared to more refined grains. While bulgur is healthy and nutritious, individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease should avoid it since it is made from wheat. Easy to prepare and highly adaptable, bulgur is a valuable ingredient for a health-conscious diet.
