What is bulgur wheat ?

 
A whole grain with a nutty flavor typically used in the traditional Lebanese parsley salad also known as Tabbouleh or Tabouli.
 

It is a parboiled grain which makes it a very desirable whole food to keep in your pantry. All it needs is about 20 minutes of soaking and it is ready to be enjoyed in any dish you want. It can also be used in pilafs instead of rice, soups, stews and even baking.

Bulgur wheat and couscous are not the same thing, don’t confuse them. Bulgur is a grain while couscous is a small globe shaped pasta made from durum wheat semolina mixed with water.
