Bulgur is made from the cracked parboiled groats of several different wheat species, most often from durum wheat. Bulgur is considered a whole grain, meaning that the entire wheat kernel — including the germ, endosperm and bran — is eaten.

Bulgur originated in the Middle East and can be traced back thousands of years. To this day, it’s a staple ingredient in many Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes.

Not only is bulgur tasty and quick to prepare but also very nutritious.

Because it’s a minimally processed grain, it maintains more nutritional value than more refined wheat products.

Bulgur contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, as well as a substantial amount of fibre.

Bulgur is a particularly good source of manganese, magnesium and iron and also slightly lower in calories than other comparable whole grains, such as brown rice or quinoa.
