Bulgur (also bulghur, burghul or pligoúri) is a cereal food made from several different wheat species, but most often from [[durum wheat]].
Bulgur (also bulghur, burghul or pligoúri) is a cereal food made from several different wheat species, but most often from [[durum wheat]].


The key attributes of traditional bulgur production are that the grain is [[parboiled]], [[dried]] (usually by spreading in the sun) and the bran is removed. Bulgur is often confused with [[cracked wheat]], which is made from crushed [[wheat grains]] which have not been parboiled. Although traditionally de-branned, bulgur and [[cracked wheat]] products available in shops may or may not have had their bran removed. Thus there are whole-grain, high-[[Dietary fibre|fibre]] versions of each. Bulgur is most often found in Turkish, Middle Eastern, Indian and Mediterranean dishes. It has a light and nutty flavour.

Bulgur can be used in pilafs, soups, bakery goods, or as stuffing, but is best known as a main ingredient in [[tabbouleh salad]] and [[kibbeh]]. Its higher nutritional value makes it a good substitute for [[rice]] or [[couscous]]. In Indian cuisine, bulgur or daliya is also used as a cereal with [[milk]] and [[sugar]].
