High in minerals like iron, zinc, potassium and magnesium, Bulgar wheat has gained popularity over the years as a substitute for commercial grains due to its nutrient rich profile. Bulgar wheat is made from durum wheat and is a quick cooking form of whole wheat that has been cleaned, parboiled, dried and ground into particles. Bulgar is a tasty low-fat ingredient found in recipes similar to rice and couscous and is best known as the main ingredient in tabouli salad.
