I recently discovered this great meal, in the form of 'a cereal food made from whole wheat'-Bulgur wheat. Bulgur wheat is the perfect meal for the family. It is 100% whole wheat and what's better, it's so easy to make.
Bulgur wheat originated from the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, and by migration, it was introduced into Europe and America. Bulgur wheat is the perfect food alternative to rice and other pastries.
