Harvesting

Organic bulgur wheat is typically grown and harvested in the Mediterranean region, particularly in countries like Turkey and Greece. This nutritious grain is composed of whole wheat kernels that have been parboiled, dried, and cracked into various sizes. The harvesting of bulgur wheat usually takes place in the late spring or early summer, when the wheat kernels have reached full maturity and are ready to be processed. After harvesting, the wheat kernels are cleaned, boiled, dried, and then cracked into different sizes, resulting in a range of textures from fine to coarse. This process helps to preserve the nutritional value of the grain while also giving it a distinctive nutty flavour and chewy texture. The natural raw product is typically a light brown or golden colour, reflecting its wholesome and unprocessed nature.

Organic bulgur wheat is a rich source of nutrients, including fibre, protein, and essential minerals such as manganese, magnesium, and iron. It is also a good source of vitamins, particularly B vitamins like niacin, thiamine, and vitamin B6. As a natural raw product, bulgur wheat does not have added nutrients, as its inherent composition already provides a wealth of essential dietary elements.

The organic nature of Organic Bulgur Wheat means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Bulgur Wheat in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
