Cracked wheat is a nutritious whole grain made by crushing whole wheat kernels into smaller pieces. Often used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian cuisines, it serves as the base for dishes like tabbouleh and porridge. Packed with dietary fiber, B vitamins, iron, and magnesium, cracked wheat supports healthy digestion, sustained energy, and overall metabolism. Its unrefined nature retains the bran and germ, making it a wholesome choice compared to more processed grains. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, it fits well into heart-healthy diets. However, as a wheat product, it contains gluten, making it unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Its nutty flavor and hearty texture blend well in both savory and sweet recipes, making it a versatile ingredient. Whether enjoyed in salads, soups, or baked goods, cracked wheat is an excellent addition to balanced meals.
