Boiled bulgur

Boiled bulgur is a healthy and unusual side dish for those who watch their diet and figure. Its caloric content is less than 100 kcal, so you will definitely not gain weight.

How to cook Boiled bulgur

Store cooled bulgur in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat with a splash of water to restore moisture.
