Bulgur is a type of whole wheat that has been parboiled, dried, and ground into a coarse, pale-beige-colored powder. It is a staple ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines and is often used to make dishes such as tabbouleh salad and kibbeh. It is also a good source of protein, fiber, and minerals such as iron and potassium. One interesting fact is that Bulgur has been used as a food source for over 5000 years in the Middle East, and it is still a staple food in many countries today.
