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 starts out as cracked wheat, but is parboiled during processing before it's dried and packaged. This extra step is what gives bulgur its quicker cooking time and longer shelf life compared to plain cracked wheat.
Bulgur comes graded as fine, medium, coarse, and extra coarse. Colours are yellow or brown.

How to Cook Aksoy Extra Coarse Bulgur Wheat with Tomato Paste?
Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 onion, 1 green pepper, 2 medium tomatoes, 1 tsp tomato paste, 1½ cups Aksoy Cracked Bulgur Wheat, 1 tsp Aksoy Turkish Sweet/Hot Pepper Flakes, 1 tsp salt (recommended: Aksoy Himalayan Salt), and black pepper.
Instructions: Heat the oil in a deep, non-stick, lidded frying pan. When hot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add the chopped green pepper. Add the tomato paste (you can also add red pepper paste if you like) and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the grated tomatoes, salt, black pepper and Aksoy Turkish Pepper Flakes. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the Aksoy Cracked Bulgur, then add 3 cups of boiled water (about twice the amount of bulgur used). Keep cooking until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. If the bulgur looks dry but isn't cooked through yet, add a splash more water and keep cooking, covered, until done.
