Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Although you could possibly use bulgar in place of cracked wheat, they aren't actually the same thing - bulgar has been soaked, steamed, dried and then cracked, whilst cracked wheat is just what its name suggests - whole raw wheat which has been cracked. http://www.epicureantable.com/articles/agrainbulgur.htm HTH Christie , Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000 wrote: > > it's bulgur kasha is buckwheat groats. > > Mary Wilson <papillonluvr wrote: Is cracked wheat the same as bulgur...or is it kasha?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 excellent - thanks for the clarification. i think i've been treating them the same - soaking in boiled water until bulked up & soft for tabbouli. or maybe i haven't? who knows. It's getting late & i'm rambling. christie_0131 <christie0131 wrote: Although you could possibly use bulgar in place of cracked wheat, they aren't actually the same thing - bulgar has been soaked, steamed, dried and then cracked, whilst cracked wheat is just what its name suggests - whole raw wheat which has been cracked. http://www.epicureantable.com/articles/agrainbulgur.htm HTH Christie , Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000 wrote: > > it's bulgur kasha is buckwheat groats. > > Mary Wilson <papillonluvr wrote: Is cracked wheat the same as bulgur...or is it kasha?
