History of This Health Depot

The history of bulgur dates back to 12,000 years ago.

Bulgur, which was born in Anatolia and Mesopotamia and is thought to be one of the first processed foods in human history, has been consumed by many cultures throughout history. The Mongol emperor Genghis Khan included it among the army rations in his expeditions. The Bible shows that the ancient Babylonian, Hittite, and Hebrew people 4 thousand years ago used cooked and dried wheat (bulgur) just as the Egyptians and other civilizations in the Eastern Mediterranean did in 1000 BC.

Facts

Bulgur is rich in protein, minerals, vitamins, and fiber. It is a particularly good source of manganese, magnesium, and iron, and also slightly lower in calories than other comparable whole grains. It has a low glycemic index and can balance blood sugar and protect the body not only from cholesterol but also from other cardiovascular diseases in the long term. As with other whole grains, regular consumption of bulgur can promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria, supporting intestinal health and proper digestive function.

In many Western languages, bulgur is referred to as ‘bulgur’ as it is known to the peoples of the Middle East. Because of the Arabic pronunciation, it is called “burgul” in Arab countries.

Bulgur can be cooked as soup, rice, main course, auxiliary course, and even used for sushi. It is a food that is compatible with almost all ingredients.

Türkiye is one of the countries where you can buy the highest quality bulgur at affordable prices.

Due to Türkiye's geopolitical position and being surrounded by the Mediterranean, Aegean, and the Black Sea, it can easily reach almost anywhere in the world.
