Bob's Red Mill Organic Cracked Wheat Hot Cereal is simply the finest organic hard red whole wheat that has been cut into a few pieces. Nothing fancy, just whole grains as nature intended. The nutty flavor and chewy texture make this one of our most popular hot cereals. Whole grain wheat delivers a healthy dose of protein, dietary fiber and is a great source of calcium and iron, all of which work together to keep your body strong and healthy. Whole wheat is also a good source of folate, which helps with cell production and is especially critical for pregnant women and infants. Our Organic Cracked Wheat is, indeed, very popular as a cereal, but you can also add cracked wheat to your favorite bread recipe for a crunchy texture, or use as a meat extender to add fiber and nutrition to meatloaf. It can be cooked and used in place of bulgur in salads, soups and sides. Bulgur is simply cracked wheat that has been parboiled to save on cooking time. Both are wonderful additions to your table.
