What Is Organic Bulgur Wheat?
Bulgur wheat, sometimes also called cracked wheat, is a lesser-known type of whole wheat durum grain. Compared to refined carbohydrate foods made with enriched or refined wheat, bulgur wheat is a much better source of vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and phytonutrients. This means it possesses superior nutritional qualities than your "bog standard" wheat but it also has a much deeper, heartier flavour than wheat too, tasting similar to oats but with a stronger, earthier base. Delicious!
