What it is

Cooked bulgur wheat is a whole grain made from cracked wheat kernels that have been parboiled and dried. This pre-cooking process makes it quick to prepare and gives it a chewy texture and nutty flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cooked bulgur wheat to products primarily as a source of whole grains and fiber, and for its distinct texture and flavor. It is commonly found in prepared salads like tabouli, frozen side dishes, grain blends, and as a base for vegetarian or vegan meals.

Health notes

Bulgur wheat is a whole grain and is generally recognized as a nutritious food. The US Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend making at least half of your grains whole grains. As a whole food ingredient, bulgur wheat is not subject to specific FDA additive approvals or GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) determinations in the same way as food additives. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole food ingredients like bulgur wheat.

Allergen info

Bulgur wheat is derived from wheat, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It contains gluten.
