Bulgur wheat has been a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines for centuries. With a distinct nutty flavor and chewy texture, it cooks relatively quickly compared to other whole grains and is commonly used in salads, pilafs, and stuffing. It is a key ingredient in traditional Middle Eastern dishes like tabbouleh and can also be used as a filling for vegetarian or meat-based dishes.
A good source of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals, including manganese, magnesium, and iron, it’s a convenient choice for those looking to add whole grains to their diet without spending excessive time in the kitchen.
Made famous in the United States by tabbouleh, a delicious Middle Eastern dish, bulgur wheat can add protein and varying flavors to your next dish.
