bulgur

Definition:
"Bulgur tarkoittaa sananmukaisesti murskattua vehnää, mutta sen valmistusprosessi on monimutkaisempi kuin tavallisen murskatun vehnän: Jyvät esikeitetään ja kuivataan tai paahdetaan. Bulguria voidaan käyttää kuskusin ja riisin tapaan."

Example sentence(s):

Helposti valmistettava bulgur, eli kokojyvävehnästä valmistetut suurimot, on hyvä vaihtoehto vaalealle pastalle ja riisille. Bulgurin sisältämä kuitu pitää verensokerin tasaisena ilman piikkejä, joita kuituköyhä vehnäpasta tekee. - www.tohtori.fi
