FOOD: BULGUR
Cracked hard-wheat.
Bulgur is a parched and cracked hard-wheat (Triticum durum) food product, high in nutritional value. The wheat kernels are boiled until soft and about to crack, then drained, sun-dried, and finally ground into fine or coarse particles. This process dissolves some of the vitamins and minerals in the bran; the water soaks into the endosperm, bringing the dissolved nutrients with it to the inside of the grain. Coarse bulgur is used in stews and pilaf, while fine bulgur is used in kibbeh and tabbouleh.
