What does BULGUR mean in Scrabble?
noun
Wheat that has been boiled, dried and cracked, used in salads and pilafs.
Because it is already partly cooked, bulgur needs only soaking or a few minutes of simmering before it can be eaten. It is the base of tabbouleh in the Levant and of many pilafs and meatballs across Turkey and the Middle East. The grains come in fine, medium and coarse grades, chosen to suit the dish, and the nutty taste is stronger than that of rice.
