Coarse Bulgur Wheat

Coarse Bulgur Wheat

EverydayDry

Coarse bulgur wheat is a minimally processed whole grain made by parboiling, drying, and cracking whole wheat kernels into large, chewy pieces. This preparation method preserves the bran and germ, delivering more fiber and a lower glycemic index than refined grains, while requiring only 10-15 minutes of cooking time. Its robust texture holds up well in salads like tabbouleh and grain bowls, distinguishing it from finer-ground bulgur varieties typically used in dishes requiring softer textures.
