About Cooked wheat

Cooked wheat, often prepared as boiled wheat berries, cracked wheat, or bulgur, is a versatile food staple with deep roots in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and South Asian cuisine. It is made by boiling whole or processed wheat kernels until tender, resulting in a hearty, nutty-flavored grain. Rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and B-complex vitamins, cooked wheat supports digestion, heart health, and sustained energy. It is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making it a wholesome carbohydrate choice. Cooked wheat is often used in dishes like tabbouleh, pilafs, breakfast porridges, or even stuffing. However, it is not gluten-free, which may be unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Overall, its nutrient profile and adaptability make it a nourishing ingredient in balanced diets worldwide.
