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.
