The roots of this bulgur are deep in ancient Mediterranean cuisine.

Burgul—also known as bulgur—is one of the oldest foods in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, where it has been consumed for thousands of years. Traditionally made from durum wheat that was pre-cooked, dried, and then crumbled, bulgur has been prized since ancient times for its convenience and shelf life, qualities that made it a staple in the cuisines of Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, and throughout the Levant. It is the star of iconic dishes like tabbouleh, a fresh salad of bulgur, parsley, and mint. This ancient wisdom now meets the ancient Sicilian wheat: Margherito, stone-crushed by Molino Crisafulli, gives life to a burgul that combines Middle Eastern tradition with the quality and authenticity of the island's grains, forming a perfect bridge between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
