Bulgur Pilaf with Almonds
One of my favorite grains is bulgur wheat, which has a light, nutty flavor. Bulgur is sometimes confused with cracked wheat, which is crushed wheat grain that has not been parboiled. Bulgur is cleaned, parboiled, dried, ground into particles and sifted into distinct sizes. Bulgur is more nutritious than rice and couscous, because it contains more fiber, more vitamins and minerals, and has a better glycemic index than white rice or couscous.
