Bulgur is a whole wheat berry that has been steamed, dried then cracked. It comes in three sizes (choose the smallest size for this recipe). Wheat contains 13 B vitamins, vitamin E, protein, and omega-3 essential fatty acids. Bulgur cooks quickly and is readily available at most grocery stores. Couscous can be substituted for bulgur, however it is more processed so it tends to be lower in fiber as it is a form of pasta made from white flour, so look for the whole grain form of couscous. Both bulgur and couscous are wheat products and therefore contain gluten
