Cookinero 29 Apr 2025

Bulgur is a great replacement for all the usual cereals. Cooked, dried and crushed wheat grains have been present in the diet of the inhabitants of the Middle East for over 3,500 years. The benefits of bulgur are invaluable - it contains B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, calcium, phosphorus, copper and other microelements. This cereal is also an excellent product for those who suffer from diabetes. We recommend all bulgur lovers to try pilaf made from this cereal - it turns out very tasty!
