Bulk Grains Bulgur, Organic, Coarse Ground, 25 Count

Received my order of 25 pounds of made-in-USA bulgur, a dried cracked-wheat product often used for cereal or porridge, but it's a workhorse grain in my kitchen, replacing rice. Why waste your money with nutrient-poor instant rice when you can prepare bulgur, which has a lower glycemic index and contains more vitamins and minerals than regular rice. Bulgur is also HIGH in PROTEIN and FIBER, low in fat. This product comes in #3 course grain: Pictured (photo 2) is a comparison of the Red Bulgur I had left over from another source (on the left), and some from this bulk purchase (on the right). The color difference is simply due to my purchase preference. Cook 3 parts liquid to 1 part grain. I cook it in a rice cooker for convenience, bringing to a boil 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth (or other liquid), then I add 1/2 cup of rinsed bulgur. Ready in 12 minutes! How cool is that! (High Altitude cooking -- so keep an eye on it, as you may need to adjust accordingly.) Bonus! It will fill you up and therefore might help you shed a few pounds. Trust me, if Chinese restaurants would ever serve bulgur instead of rice, you would not be hungry again an hour later.The third photo shows what bulgur looks like cooked. I had added a bit of Chili Oil with Black Beans because I wanted a little heat (similar to a Kung Pao kind of spicy) to the cooked bulgur so it would complement the meat that I served last night. It was deeee-yum-alicious, and I received raves over this easy-to-prepare side dish. Done, another new combination to rotate into my meal repertoire.Wonderfully versatile, bulgur is often used in salad recipes or to replace rice since it is similar in texture. Stuffed Green Peppers with bulgur is a high-fiber offering that the family will enjoy eating whilst you will appreciate the goodness they are gaining from this lovely cracked grain. The extra grain (uncooked) can be divided and stored in smaller packages in one's deep freezer, or divided up into Mylar bags, sealed, then placed inside a plastic food-grade tub with a tight-fitting lid to keep out moisture, light, and other undesirables. Saving money is a sure thing with this purchase.The 25-pound bag (first photo) arrived within seven days of purchase (ahead of stated arrival date) and was packed well inside a box lined with a sheet of bubble wrap on the bottom and another on top. (As always, be mindful when opening the box with a sharp object, else you might cut through the wrap and accidentally damage the grain bag.) All said, my purchase from this seller was a great experience.

Soak at night and eat in the morning. No cooking just heat it.

I like it, taste great!

I have no complaints. May taste even better with a rinse before cooking.

I wish it was brown
