Sloppy Joes are everyone’s favorite cold weather sandwich! Try mixing up your favorite Sloppy Joe recipe, and add a bit of bulgur for an extra nutritional punch. What is Bulgur? Bulgur is white or red, hard or soft, whole wheat kernels that have been soaked, boiled and dried. Then, 5 percent of the bran is removed and the remaining kernel is cracked into small pieces. The result is parcooked, cracked wheat. Bulgur differs from cracked wheat in that it is pre-cooked. Bulgur is rich in protein, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin, the nutrients found in whole grain wheat.
