What is Fine Brown Bulgur?
Fine Brown Bulgur (also called "bulghur" or even "bulghul") is a whole-grain product made from hard red winter wheat berries. To make it, hulled wheat kernels are processed to remove a small amount of the bran, then steamed, dried and cracked to a fine grain.
The difference between yellow/white and brown bulgur:
Yellow Bulgur: It is the most common variety of bulgur wheat in the world. Yellowish colour is due to its raw material and durum wheat's natural colour.
Brown Bulgur: Brown bulgur is produced from red wheats. It is softer but has a stronger taste to the yellow bulgur.
What Does It Taste Like?
Bulgur has the nutty flavour of many whole grains with a similar chewy texture and an appealing popcorn scent when it cooks.

- Peel and cube the potatoes. Boil until soft, drain, and grate.
- Add the bulgur, potatoes and olive oil to the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and mix briefly until just combined.
- Prepare the ingredients if you have, put them through the food processor for vegetables. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients except for mush potatoes and the set-aside fine bulgur.
- To this mix, gradually start adding the bulgur, and begin kneading to roughly combine everything for a few minutes, ideally on a large tray. If using hands for kneading, use your palms to push the mixture down into the tray, over and over again until it gets much softer and sticks together.
- After a satisfactory taste-test, begin shaping them by taking a two-tablespoon portion into your palm, leave some space between your fingers, and make your hand into a fist.
