Bulgur is rich in carbohydrates and complex B vitamins, elements that provide energy and contribute to the development of the human body. Specifically, carbohydrates constitute the only energy source for the development of the brain and the nervous system. Furthermore, bulgur, as a wholegrain cereal promotes the healthy function of the digestive system and the regulation of diabetes by decreasing the levels of glucose and insulin in the blood. Bulgur is also a good source of manganese, which helps proteins and carbohydrates produce energy. In general, bulgur should be an integral component of a diet eaten either as a light meal (bulgur salad) or as a main course.
