ABOUT KAMUT® BULGUR

Kamut® Bulgur is a quick-cooking form of whole Kamut® grain that has been cleaned, parboiled, dried, ground into particles and sifted into distinct sizes. Sunnyland Mills' two distinct grind sizes as well as whole kernel provide different textures and cooking properties for a variety of food applications. The result is a nutritious, versatile product with a pleasant, nut-like and buttery flavor with an extended shelf-life that allows it to be stored for long periods.

Often confused with cracked wheat, bulgur differs in that it has been pre-cooked. For a humorous cartoon description of the steps involved in making bulgur wheat, click here. In contrast to cracked wheat, bulgur is ready to eat with minimal cooking or, after soaking in water or broth, can be mixed with other ingredients without further cooking. Bulgur can be used in recipes calling for converted rice (and it's more nutritious than rice).
