What is Bulgur Wheat?
Bulgur wheat is a whole grain made from cracked wheat that has been partially cooked, dried, and ground into different sizes. With roots in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, it’s known for its nutty flavour, slightly chewy texture, and quick cooking time.
It’s often used as a base in dishes like tabbouleh, grain bowls, and warm salads. Bulgur wheat is incredibly versatile; it can replace rice, couscous, or quinoa in most recipes. Rich in fibre and low in fat, it's a nutritious grain that fits perfectly into a balanced diet.
Its popularity continues to grow in the UK thanks to its quick prep time and ability to soak up bold flavours.
