Organic Bulgur Wheat is whole wheat that has been parboiled, dried and cracked — making it one of the fastest-cooking whole grains available. It needs nothing more than boiling water and 15 minutes to produce a fluffy, nutty-flavoured grain that is the foundation of countless Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes.
Health Benefits
- A genuine whole grain — unlike refined grains, bulgur retains its bran and germ, providing full fibre and nutrient content
- Very high in dietary fibre — one of the highest-fibre grains available
- Good source of manganese and magnesium
- Rich in B vitamins, particularly niacin and thiamine
- Low glycaemic index — slower-releasing energy than white rice or pasta
