What is Bulgur Wheat?
Bulgur wheat is a type of whole grain. It is made from cracked wheat that has been partially cooked, dried, and ground into different sizes. With roots in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, bulgur is known for its nutty flavour, slightly chewy texture, and quick cooking time.
It’s often used as a base in balanced dishes, such as tabbouleh, grain bowls, and warm salads, which are all perfect for meals for one. As bulgur wheat is incredibly versatile, you can use it to replace rice, couscous, or quinoa in most recipes. Since bulgur is rich in fibre and low in fat, this nutritious grain fits perfectly into a balanced diet.
Its popularity continues to grow in Australia and beyond, thanks to its quick prep time and ability to soak up bold flavours.
