Bulgur: a versatile grain for the modern kitchen
Bulgur production process
Bulgur is a food that is traditionally made from durum wheat. The first step is to soak the wheat in order to swell it. This is followed by a steaming process. This process ensures that the grains develop their unique properties. The wheat grains are then dried. These are partially hulled and, depending on the intended use, crushed to different degrees of fineness.

It is known for its nutty aroma and firm center. In the kitchen, bulgur is characterized by its versatility. It can be used as an alternative to carbohydrate-rich foods such as potatoes or pasta. Whether in Mediterranean, oriental or Asian dishes, bulgur can be seamlessly integrated into various culinary traditions. Its ability to absorb and complement flavors makes it a favorite in the preparation of exotic and aromatic dishes.
