What is bulgur?
Bulgur is parboiled cracked wheat with a mild, nutty flavour and a relatively quick cooking time. Names, grades and preparation methods can differ between brands. Always read the label and follow the instructions on the pack.
How do you use bulgur?
This product works in traditional recipes as well as straightforward everyday meals. Use fine bulgur for tabbouleh and köfte; coarse bulgur works well in pilaf, soups and stuffed vegetables.
Choosing and storing
When choosing, check the ingredient list, the condition of the pack and the variety that suits your recipe. Choose the grade for the dish: fine for cold recipes and medium or coarse for cooked meals.
Keep grains cool, dry and sealed in an airtight container to protect their flavour and keep moisture out.
