Super U Quinoa and Bulgur Grain Blend
What it is
This is a pre-mixed blend of two popular grains: quinoa and bulgur. Bulgur is cracked wheat that has been parboiled, dried, and ground, offering a chewy texture and earthy taste. The combination creates a versatile base for many meals.

To prepare, typically you will rinse the grain blend under cold water. Then, combine it with water or broth in a saucepan, usually in a 1:2 ratio of grain blend to liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. It can also be cooked according to package directions, which may vary slightly.
