Burghul

Burghul, not to be confused with cracked wheat, it is a cereal food made from different wheat species, usually durum wheat. It is sold parboiled, dried and partially de-branned. It is available in three grinds or sizes: fine (#1), Medium (#2), Coarse (#3). Burghul is considered more nutritious than white rice and couscous because of its high fiber, vitamin and mineral content. It is one of the ingredients used in tabouleh and kebbeh.
