About BULGUR
Meijer Bulgur is a single-ingredient whole grain product in the other grains and seeds category, sold under the Meijer store brand by Meijer, Inc. Bulgur is a traditional Middle Eastern whole grain made from durum wheat that has been parboiled, dried, and cracked or coarsely ground. The precooking step gives it a relatively fast preparation time compared to other whole grains — typically 10-15 minutes of soaking or simmering.
The sole ingredient is precooked durum wheat (bulgur), with no additives, preservatives, sodium, colorings, or flavoring agents. Bulgur retains the bran and germ of the durum wheat kernel in most grades, contributing to its notably high fiber content. As a wheat-based product, it contains gluten and is not suitable for gluten-free diets. It does not contain dairy, eggs, nuts, or soy based on declared ingredients, and is suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
Nutritionally, this product delivers 341 calories per 100 grams (dry weight), with 12.50 grams of protein, 67.05 grams of carbohydrates, 2.27 grams of fat, and 8.00 grams of fiber per 100 grams. The protein content of 12.50 grams per 100 grams is higher than most refined grain products, and the fiber at 8.00 grams per 100 grams is substantially higher than white rice or refined pasta. The calorie density is moderate-to-high at dry weight but significantly lower when cooked, as bulgur absorbs roughly 2-2.5x its dry volume in water. Not suitable for gluten-free or low-carbohydrate dietary patterns.
