COARSE BULGUR

Coarse Bulgur is a form of cracked wheat berry that originated in the ancient Middle East. Wheat berries, often of the durum variety, are hulled and processed to remove a small amount of the bran.

Almonds are the seeds of the almond fruit that grow in around 30 different varieties. They are described by many as "the kings of the nuts." All this is due to the extraordinary content of vitamins and minerals valuable for health. Almonds are often used to produce flour, which is especially appreciated by people who follow the principles of a gluten-free diet. In addition, almond seeds are used in the production of a special almond paste with exceptional nutritional values. Almonds are rich in nutrients. They contain vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. They have a high content of healthy unsaturated fats (EFAs). Almonds are rich in vitamin E, a well-known antioxidant, a substance that stops oxidation processes, thus clearing the veins and preventing heart disease, and slowing down the aging of cells. Almonds are believed to contribute to the maintenance of healthy bones through the content of calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper, vitamin K, protein and zinc.

Bulgur is actually broken wheat. Many people know it as Turkish rice. It is mostly preferred by Middle Eastern and Turkish cuisine, but nowadays it is becoming more and more widespread and is consumed in many areas of the world. The still unripe or husked wheat grains are steamed, dried, and then coarsely crushed. It is made from durum wheat, which contains straight-chain amylose starch. Enzymes break it down into dextrose more slowly, therefore raising blood sugar more slowly, thus reducing the glycemic index. Since it is steamed in advance, the cooking time is shorter than e.g. of the better-known semolina. Research has shown that regular consumption can contribute to the prevention of tumors, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular and digestive system diseases.
