About Durum wheat bulgur

Durum wheat bulgur is durum grain that has been cooked or par-cooked, dried, and cracked into pieces. It is usually tan to golden, with a coarse, granular appearance; after soaking or cooking, the pieces become tender yet retain some bite. Its flavour is mild and wheaty.

Bulgur is prepared by soaking or simmering and used as a grain side or in mixed preparations. Grind size varies from fine to coarse, affecting how quickly it softens and the resulting texture. It is distinct from raw cracked wheat, which has not undergone bulgur’s precooking and drying process.
