I had the opportunity to try a new whole grain today at a workshop I consulted at. Bulgur, admittedly a tad bland, can be used in pilafs, soups, or as stuffing. It is best known as a main ingredient in tabbouleh. Its higher nutritional value makes it a good substitute for rice or couscous.
1 cup cooked has ~8 grams of fiber, although only ~2 grams of it being soluble (cholesterol-lowering) fiber. Remember, LDL is your "bad" cholesterol so shoot for foods high in fiber and omega 3 fats. Pair that with quality exercise and you're well on your way to better health!
