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.

Frumenty is one of the most characteristics of Greek products. It is made from wheat flour and its shape looks like an irregular-shaped thick grain. The traditional way of making frumenty was by rubbing the dough between the hands and over sieves with a thick grid, and then by spreading it over crates with a steel grid until it dried well.

Pasta contains considerable amounts of minerals such as magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, selenium and manganese.

In the past, Greek villagers made pasta mostly in the summertime when they could dry it naturally. They would then keep it in the cellar of their homes and cook it in winter. It was thus a very convenient and easy food to prepare and a wonderful solution to feed a large and hungry family both economically and in a most nourishing way. The shape, size and cooking method of the Greek traditional pasta varies, depending on the region.
Trahana is an ancient food that fewer and fewer country cooks bother to make at home. But Greeks still love it and as a result, a litany of regional artisan producers have stepped in to fill market demand. Thanks to them the tradition is surviving. In Crete, cooks add the local trahana, called xinohondros, to a whole range of vegetable dishes. Trahana goes hand in hand with tomatoes in a delicious northern Greek meatball soup and cooks sometimes add it instead of breadcrumbs to the meatballs themselves, to help keep the mixture together.

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.

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.
