What Does Bulgur Wheat Taste Like?
Bulgur has the nutty flavour of many whole grains, with a similar chewy texture and an appealing popcorn scent when it cooks.
Bulgur vs. Cracked Wheat
Bulgur is a type of cracked wheat that has been parboiled during processing. This step is what gives it its quick-cooking characteristic and longer shelf life, setting it apart from plain cracked wheat.
Bulgur comes graded as fine, medium, coarse and extra coarse, in yellow or brown colours.
