Cracked Bulgur Wheat

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. While it has a long shelf life, its flavor may degrade over time.

Rinse bulgur before cooking to remove any dust.

For salads like tabbouleh, use fine or medium bulgur and soak it in hot water or broth rather than boiling.

Toast bulgur in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding liquid to enhance its nutty flavor.

Herbs (parsley, mint, cilantro)

Tomatoes

Cucumbers

Lemon juice

Olive oil

Spices (cumin, allspice, cinnamon)

Legumes (chickpeas, lentils)

Overcooking bulgur, which can result in a mushy texture.

Using the wrong grind size for a recipe; fine bulgur is best for salads, while coarser grinds work well for pilafs and stuffing.
