Greek Bulgur with Red & White Quinoa, Net weight 1 kg ( Pack of 4 boxes of 250g each ):

Bulgur is an edible cereal grain made from dried, cracked wheat — most commonly durum wheat. It is parboiled, or partially cooked so that it can be prepared relatively quickly. When cooked, it has a similar consistency to couscous or quinoa. Bulgur originated in the Mediterranean and can be traced back thousands of years. To this day, it’s a staple ingredient in many Greek, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes.

Greek Bulgur is an amazing source of dietary fibre, protein, iron, and vitamin B6 and contains gluten. Bulgur doesn't lose much from its minimal processing; it remains high in protein and minerals. That means it's an ideal foundation for meals, allowing you to skip higher-fat protein sources, like most meats.

When you look at bulgur and quinoa, they kinda look similar. But the difference is that bulgur is precooked cracked wheat, while quinoa is actually a seed. If you look at the nutrition comparison for both, quinoa is more nutritionally dense. Of all the quinoa colours, white quinoa has the most delicate taste and the lightest texture and it cooks up a bit fluffier than other types of quinoa. Red quinoa (which takes on a brownish hue when cooked) has a richer taste, slightly chewier and heartier texture, and somewhat nuttier flavour compared to white quinoa.

The cooking process is similar to that of rice or couscous in that boiling water is used to soften the grain. For every one part bulgur, you typically need about two parts water. It’s frequently used in salads — like tabbouleh — or pilafs, alongside herbs, vegetables, spices and sometimes other grains. It can be used as a base for breakfast-style porridges with oats, or in soups, stews and chilli.

A rusk is a food that we encounter from ancient times until today. It's a form of dry and crunchy bread that has received twice the usual exposure to fire (in a stove). Its recipe resulted from the need for rural families, where the wife was also busy being involved in agricultural work, was not able to knead fresh bread on a daily basis. Therefore, she used to knead a large quantity of bread once, which was then consumed fresh as long as it could last (2-3 days) and the rest was roasted a second time in the oven, in order to expel excess moisture and last even more. There is a large variety of rusks that are produced from different kinds of flours.

Be it called St John’s bread, locust bean, locust-tree, or carob bush, this evergreen produces a type of superfood that offers a lot of health benefits.

Greek Mediterranean Risotto. Net weight 880g ( Pack of 4 boxes of 220g each ):

Risotto is a traditional Greek and Italian rice dish made from a Greek medium-grain white rice, traditional variety Carolina. The technique for making it is called the risotto method, which involves stirring small amounts of hot stock or broth into the rice a little at a time, allowing the liquid to be absorbed as you go. Risotto is special because the rice gives up some of its starch to make the dish so creamy. Adding butter and parmesan helps but it's actually the stirring itself that knocks some of that starch off the grains. Risotto is a Mediterranean rice dish cooked with broth until it reaches a creamy consistency. Risotto in Italy and Greece is normally the first course served before the main course.

How healthy is risotto? : Risotto is a great comfort-food dish, yet it also can be loaded with fat from the addition of butter and cheese. if you're feeding vegetarian friends, it can be the main course if you use vegetable broth rather than chicken broth. Rice is composed of carbs, with small amounts of protein and virtually no fat. Porcini mushrooms are a good source of B vitamins, protein, copper, potassium, zinc and selenium.

What sides to serve with risotto? : Sensitive aesthetes that they are, chefs often feel the need to gussy up or hide risotto. They scatter it with cosmetic toppings or secrete it away under a handsome wodge of protein (lamb loin, sea bass fillet, chicken breast), as if it can operate as a component part of a meal.

What meat goes well risotto? : Greek traditional Mediterranean risotto on its own is a winner but adding succulent pork fillet (or tenderloin) cooked with garlic and fragrant rosemary just takes it up a notch. You could easily swap the pork out for beef fillet or even chicken breasts if you were that way inclined.

Is Quinoa healthier than rice? : A cup of quinoa will also provide twice the protein and about 5 grams more fiber than the same amount of white rice. Due to this higher quantity of protein and fiber, quinoa is not only the healthier choice but will also fill you up faster, allowing for smaller portion sizes. Out of all the superfoods out there, quinoa is one of the few which really lives up to the hype and deserves a place in the pantry. Is high in protein, fibre, B-vitamins, magnesium, calcium and vitamin E. It's also naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those who can’t consume gluten.

All that to say, don’t cut rice from your diet just because you’ve seen or heard that quinoa is a healthier replacement. You can enjoy both! What meat goes well Greek white rice with red quinoa?: This lovely blend on its own is a winner but adding succulent pork fillet cooked with garlic and fragrant rosemary just takes it up a notch.
