Ingredient

bulgur

Among the specialties that make Middle Eastern cuisine great and rich in variety, there is certainly also burgur: the latter is prepared from durum wheat grains which are then subjected to steam cooking, a subsequent drying and, ultimately, also a grinding process. One of the most appreciated characteristics of burgur is the high fiber content - a peculiarity increasingly sought after in the present - as well as the richness of precious mineral salts and, finally, the good concentration of vitamin B. One of the most famous recipes within of which the burgur reigns supreme, is certainly the tabbouleh.

Use in cooking

The versatility of bulgur is truly proverbial: the latter can be used without problems as a substitute for rice, particularly in salads or even soups.

Preservation

To prevent the burgur from spoiling, it is best to store it in a tightly closed container that is placed in a dark, dry place away from humidity.

Curiosity

The origin of the burgur is to be found far back in time and, from a geographical point of view, in the area where the Kurdish peoples were settled.
