Borghul – (العولة)برغل

Borghol is produced by taking whole wheat grains and undergoing several steps in its preparation. First, the wheat grains are cleaned to remove impurities. Then, they are parboiled (partially cooked) and dried. Afterward, the dried wheat kernels are cracked or crushed into various sizes, ranging from fine to coarse.

Nutritional Value: Borghol is a highly nutritious whole grain. It is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and plant-based protein. It is low in fat and contains essential vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and manganese.

Tunisian bulgur is quick and easy to prepare by simply soaking it briefly in boiling water until tender. They can also be cooked by boiling them in liquid broth, which absorbs flavors and spices and softens them.

Storage: Tunisian bulgur, like any other grain, must be stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and quality over time.
