BULGAR (LAPSI DALIA)

  • Bulgur is a cereal food made from the cracked parboiled groats (whole grains) of several different wheat species, most often from durum wheat.
  • It is sometimes confused with cracked wheat, which is crushed wheat grain that, unlike bulgur, has not been parboiled.
  • It has a light, nutty flavor.
  • Coarse bulgur is used to make pottages, while the medium and fine grains are used for breakfast cereals, salads such as kisir, pilavs, breads, and in dessert puddings such as kheer.
  • In breads, it adds a whole-grain component.
