In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of wheat sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Bulgur is wheat that has been boiled, dried and cracked, so it cooks quickly in hot water. Plain cooked bulgur goes into salads like kısır, stuffed vegetables and grain bowls; with butter and tomato it becomes pilaf.

These numbers are for plain bulgur cooked in water; pilaf made with butter or oil has its own entry.
