About Cooked bulgar wheat

Cooked bulgur wheat is a nutrient-rich, versatile whole grain commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Made from cracked and partially pre-cooked durum wheat, bulgur boasts a light, nutty flavor and a fluffy texture once prepared. Its origins trace back thousands of years, often featured in traditional dishes like tabbouleh and kibbeh. Packed with fiber, bulgur supports healthy digestion and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. It’s also a good source of plant-based protein, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, making it a nourishing choice for vegetarians and vegans. Low in fat and calories, bulgur is ideal for weight management while promoting heart health. However, as a wheat product, it contains gluten and may not be suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. Quick to cook and endlessly adaptable, bulgur wheat is a staple for balanced meals centered on wholesome, natural ingredients.
