Coarse bulgur

Coarse bulgur is a variety of cracked wheat that has been precooked, dried, and broken into larger pieces, giving it a heartier and chewier texture compared to fine and medium bulgur. It is commonly used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and other regional cuisines around the world, especially in dishes that require a consistent base with an earthy flavor. It is often used in stews, pilafs, soups, and as a base for main dishes. It also serves as a substitute for other grains, such as rice or quinoa, and is popular for making kibbeh and similar dishes that require a firm texture. Coarse bulgur adds a slightly nutty flavor and is an excellent ingredient for adding substance and nutrients to a wide variety of culinary preparations.
