What Does Bulgur Wheat Taste Like?
Bulgur has the nutty flavour of many whole grains with a similar chewy texture and an appealing popcorn scent when it cooks.
Bulgur vs. Cracked Wheat
Bulgur and cracked wheat are essentially the same product, with one significant difference: Bulgur is parboiled during processing. This step gives it its quick-cooking characteristic and a longer shelf life.
Bulgur comes graded as fine, medium, coarse, and extra coarse. Colours are yellow or brown.
