Bulgur is a cereal rich in dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. You can replace it with this peeled rice and pasta, especially if you want to lose weight. Compared to other cereals, it has a lower glycemic index, which means that after consumption it raises blood glucose more gently, making it considered an excellent source of carbohydrates for diabetics. 

Due to its low glycemic index, it is considered to have a high satiety index compared to other sources of carbohydrates, such as rice and potatoes, while essentially providing the same energy. It contains much more dietary fiber than white rice and pasta and significant amounts of B-complex vitamins, such as thiamine, riboflavin, and particularly niacin, which are essential for smooth metabolism and proper functioning of nerve cells, and therefore the brain. 

But besides these vitamins, it contains vitamin E, which contributes to the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system, triple the potassium and quadruple the phosphorus compared to pasta and white rice, and significant amounts of minerals, such as iron, magnesium, and zinc, as well as trace elements, such as selenium, which has strong antioxidant action.
