Bulgur is a type of whole wheat that has already been cooked, left out to dry and ground into various sizes. The most commonly used size is medium bulgur. Bulgur is found in a variety of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes. It is simple to prepare and is commonly used as a main component of tabbouleh, a popular Mediterranean salad. According to Sunnyland Mills, bulgur has become popular because it is low in fat and also higher in nutritional value than other grains like couscous or rice. Add this to my Recipe Box.
