About Bulgur Wheat: Bulgur is a quick cooking form of whole wheat that has been cleaned, parboiled, dried, ground into particles and sifted into distinct sizes. Bulgur can be used in recipes calling for converted rice (and it's more nutritious than rice). Here are some fun recipes to change up that plate from just plain old brown rice:

1 sm. onion, chopped
