Duru Extra Coarse Bulgur 1000g – Large Wheat Kernels, High-Fiber & High-Protein Whole Grain

Duru Extra Coarse Bulgur is a 1000g bag of large wheat berries offering a hearty, high-fiber, high-protein whole grain ideal for pilafs, soups, stuffings and vegan meals.

This extra coarse bulgur from Duru is roughly half the size of a wheat grain and cooks into distinct, chewy kernels that hold texture in hot dishes and salads. Produced with traditional methods and carrying multiple food safety and quality certifications, it’s a non-GMO, 100% natural pantry staple. The grain delivers complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, protein and a range of nutrients such as B vitamins, folate, magnesium and potassium, making it a versatile alternative to rice and refined grains.

What makes extra coarse bulgur different from regular bulgur?

Extra coarse bulgur grains are larger and firmer than standard coarse varieties, so they keep their shape when simmered or baked. This size works well where you want visible, chewy kernels rather than a mashed or porridge-like result.

• Grain size: about half a wheat berry, providing pronounced texture.
• Cooking behavior: retains bite and separates easily in pilafs and salads.
• Flavor profile: mild, nutty wheat taste that complements savory and sweet recipes.
• Pairing: suitable as a rice substitute or mixed into stuffing, soups and grain bowls.

How do I cook Duru Extra Coarse Bulgur for best results?

Cooking is simple—no soaking required. Use two cups of hot water for each cup of bulgur, simmer until the kernels are tender, then fluff with a fork to separate grains.

• Ratio: 1 cup bulgur to 2 cups hot water (or broth) for consistent texture.
• Method: bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until done; drain any excess liquid if needed.
• Timing: larger kernels need slightly longer than fine bulgur—check texture after 12–18 minutes.
• Seasoning: cook in broth or add herbs, citrus, or olive oil after cooking for flavor boost.

Is this product certified and suitable for specific diets?

Duru Extra Coarse Bulgur carries several international food safety and quality certificates and is produced without genetically modified organisms. It’s plant-based, high in fiber and protein, and pairs well with vegan, vegetarian and many whole-food eating plans.

• Certifications: Kosher, Non-GMO, ISO 22000, ISO 9001, IFS, BRC.
• Diet fit: naturally vegan and plant-forward; good for high-fiber menus.
• Nutritional notes: complex carbs, low glycemic tendency compared with refined grains.
• Usage: versatile—works in soups, meat dishes, vegetable mains, pilafs and desserts.

How can I use this bulgur across recipes?

Because its kernels remain separate and chewy, extra coarse bulgur suits a broad range of applications from hearty pilafs to textured cold salads. It absorbs flavors readily and can replace rice or other grains in most recipes for a nuttier, more substantial bite.

• Pilafs: cook with stock and aromatics for a robust side or base dish.
• Soups & stews: add for body and fiber without turning mushy.
• Stuffing & fillings: excellent for poultry or vegetable stuffing due to grain integrity.
• Desserts & cereals: pairs with milk, nuts and fruit for whole-grain breakfast bowls.

It’s aimed at people seeking non-GMO, certified pantry staples that add fiber and protein to vegan and omnivore recipes alike, and anyone who prefers a firmer grain as an alternative to rice or finer bulgur.
