Bulgur Harvest Bowl

Bulgur is a whole grain-rich in minerals, vitamins, and fiber therefore super healthy for gut function and digestive. The nice thing about it is that you don’t have to cook it, only to soak in boiling water. You can use fine bulgur or coarse, whatever you find in the store. (The recipe will work well with both). Bulgur is great in salads too! it adds a wonderful texture. This easy recipe goes so well with Tahini sauce, as well as tofu or tempeh for some extra protein.
