Fine Bulgur is a whole-grain product made from hard red winter wheat berries. To make it, hulled wheat kernels are processed to remove a small amount of the bran, then steamed, dried and cracked to a fine grain. This process creates a quick-cooking grain dish that is especially popular in Middle Eastern cuisines. It is high in fiber and protein and has a lower glycemic index than white rice, making it a healthful substitute in numerous dishes.
Fine Bulgur is very suitable for:
- Tabouleh salad;
- Pilaf;
- Meatballs;
- Salds;
- Garnishes.
It also provides about 10% of the daily requirement of Iron and magnesium.
