Wheat, bulgur, raw

Bulgur is a wheat cereal made from grains that have been partly cooked, dried and cracked. The figures here describe the dry, uncooked product before preparation. Per 100g, it provides 78g of carbohydrate, 11g of protein and 6.7g of fibre, with an energy content of 1499 kJ. Carbohydrate is its main nutrient, alongside smaller amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Bulgur contains gluten, so it is not suitable for people with coeliac disease. Cooking adds water and changes the nutrient amounts per weight compared with the dry product; added ingredients can also affect salt and fat content. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
