My sister sent me several recipes calling for bulgur wheat. I'm
having a problem locating some. I looked in my usual supermarket
in the flour section, then the international aisle. No luck.
Should I be looking in another area or trying another store?

Is there a more readily available substitute?

TIA

If you find a decent Gourmet store try

Fregola Media

U can read about it here. Quite a "different" pasta

Or just as good and a good substitute for Bulgar Wheat is Israeli Couscous

But if you can't find Bulgar Wheat, I guess the above two are going to be
tougher to find <smile>

Try the international or ethnic section of your supermarket. Failing
that, try the health food store. What to substitute depends on the
recipe. I substitute quinoa, available in health food stores, for
"quinoa tabouleh." I like the flavor and texture more than bulgur
wheat. Short grain brown rice might do too.

Bulgar - Bulgur is a wheat product sold whole or cracked. It can be
used in many of the same ways as rice. When cooked, it has a nutlike
flavor and a slightly chewy texture.

Found this on the internet. It sounds very like couscous to me. Is
there an organic health-food store or something similar near you?
Chances are they'd carry it. Also, many other raw ingredients they
carry can make valuable additions to your kitchen. My local one is the
only place I can find raw couscous, decent asparagus, very cool "baby"
bananas, great olive oils, teas, and lots of other things like that.
Certainly useful to track down one nearby.

Why don't you ask your stupid sister??? How the heck would we know where you
should look... why not look up your dumb ass... you don't say where you live
DUH dumb shit! Why don't you ask your cheap sister to send you some along with
the recipes, or is she as screwy as you, she's certainly at least as dumb..

Try the health food aisle of your supermarket or a health food store. I
don't know of a substitute since it's readily available at the local health
food co-op and I've never had to think about it.

Cous cous is pasta. Bulgur is a form of cracked wheat. Not the
same. Different tastes, textures, uses.

I don't think there would be ant suitable substitute.

The best place to find bulgur wheat would be a store that carries
Mideast foods. It may be available in different grades from #1 to #3
denoting the coarseness of the cracked wheat grains. If there is no
such store in your area, then try a health food store and look for
"cracked wheat."

It's in the flour aisle at my store, except it's on the other side of the
aisle with all the fancy flours and mixes.

I live in an extremely small isolated community where the nearest WalMart is a
50 mile drive. Our grocery carries it and so does the health food store. Did
you ask your grocer where it is kept in the store??????

Bulgur is great stuff but is nothing like couscous. It is simply wheat
berries crushed to a more or less coarse consistency. Couscous is pasta. The
most common way it is user is probably in tabbouleh, a salad whare it is
mixed with onions, tomatoes, etc. An "organic"store is indeed a likely bet,
as is any store that carries bulk grains.

I have some bulgur wheat that I don't know what to do with... do you
have a recipe to share?

I think brown rice or couscous may work as a substitute in some
cases?...

Ask at the customer service desk.

Look in the health food aisle if your grocer has one or a health food store;
one common brand is Bob's Red Mill. Failing that, you could order online
from

Why don't you just ask if the grocery store in question will order you
a pound or two when they put in their next order. You may have to pay
for it in advanc, but you could get it.

At my grocery, they stock it in the section with the dried beans.

If you can't find bulgur--and cost is not an object--see if they've
got Near East tabouli (or tabbouleh, or some other variant spelling)
mix. That's a small box of extremely fine-grained bulgur with a
packet of tasteless herbs. But it's ridiculously expensive for
what you get.

If you can, though, try a Middle Eastern grocery or a health food
store.

Not yet. I don't like to post recipes I've not tried.
