Bulgur or bulgur wheat is more properly known as Burghul in the Middle East and North Africa. Burghul (Bulgur) is made from wheat berries that are cooked, the bran removed, and then dried and crushed. It is often confused with cracked wheat, which is made from crushed wheat berries, and retains all the nutrients of whole grain wheat. Burghul (Bulgur) is most often found in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes. It has a light and nutty flavor.
Bulgur can be used in pilafs, soups, bakery goods, or as stuffing, but is best known as a main ingredient in tabouli salad. Its higher nutritional value makes it a good substitute for rice or cous cous.
