Bafra Bulgur: The Nutritious and Versatile Staple from Cyprus
Bafra Bulgur is a staple food in Cyprus, known for its nutritional value and versatility in cooking. Made from cleaned, boiled, dried, and then ground wheat, Bafra Bulgur comes in various sizes to suit different culinary needs. It’s a key ingredient in many traditional and modern recipes, offering both health benefits and delicious taste.
The Process of Making Bafra Bulgur
Bafra Bulgur is produced through a meticulous process. The wheat grains are boiled, dried, and then the husk is removed before grinding. This process allows the wheat grains to be broken into desired sizes. At Bafra, we offer three different sizes: fine, medium, and coarse, catering to a variety of recipes.
Nutritional Profile of Bulgur
The primary ingredient of Bulgur, wheat, consists of wheat germ, endosperm, and bran. The nutritional components are concentrated in the germ and the bran, while the endosperm provides starch and a small amount of protein. Bulgur is rich in minerals like zinc, magnesium, and chromium, and contains phenols, phytates, selenium, and all B vitamins except B12. Its high folate content makes it essential for children and pregnant women. Bulgur contains minimal amounts of unsaturated fat and, due to its cooking and drying processes, is free from phytic acid. Its fiber content plays a positive role in intestinal health and diets.
