Bob's Red Mill Red Bulgur Whole Grain, 24 oz (4-Pack) — Medium Grind, Quick-Cooking

Bob's Red Mill Red Bulgur is a parboiled, cracked whole wheat that cooks fast and adds nutty texture to salads, pilafs, and grain bowls.

Red bulgur is a versatile whole grain made by parboiling, drying, and cracking hard red wheat berries, creating a medium grind that holds texture while rehydrating quickly. This 24 oz pack from Bob's Red Mill delivers ready-to-use bulgur ideal for classic Middle Eastern recipes like tabbouleh as well as modern breakfast bowls, grain salads, and easy weeknight sides. Because it’s partially cooked during processing, it needs just hot water or brief simmering to become tender, making it a practical pantry staple.

How quickly does this bulgur cook and how do I prepare it?

This medium-grind red bulgur is designed for speed: it can be rehydrated with hot water in minutes or simmered briefly on the stove for firmer texture. Preparation method depends on the texture you want—fluffy or slightly chewy—and whether you’re using it in cold salads or warm dishes.

• For tabbouleh and chilled salads: pour boiling water over bulgur, cover, let sit 10–15 minutes, then drain any excess.
• For warm pilafs or pilaf-style side dishes: simmer 1 part bulgur to 2 parts liquid for 10–12 minutes until tender.
• Adjust soak/simmer time for firmer (shorter) or softer (longer) texture.
• No rinsing required; it’s already parboiled and dried during processing.

What nutritional benefits can I expect from Bob's Red Mill red bulgur?

Red bulgur is a whole grain providing a modest amount of protein and fiber per serving, plus B-vitamins and minerals from the whole-wheat kernel. It’s a nutrient-dense base for meals that supports satiety and pairs well with vegetables, legumes, and lean proteins.

• Contains natural minerals like iron and calcium present in whole wheat.
