Frequently Asked Questions
How is bulgur different from cracked wheat?
Bulgur is parboiled before cracking, so it's partially cooked and reconstitutes quickly in hot water (5-15 min). Cracked wheat is raw and requires full cooking (25-40 min).
Is bulgur healthier than rice?
Bulgur has more fiber (4.5g vs 0.4-1.8g per 100g) and protein than white or brown rice, with fewer calories. It's one of the healthiest quick-cooking grains available.
