With fine bulgur, she made kisir, a Turkish salad subject to varied interpretations. Unlike Lebanese tabbouleh, the parsley salad with a little bulgur in it, kisir is all about the grain. Some cooks add walnuts, pistachios, cucumbers, lettuce or purslane to the softened bulgur. (Hearst Communications Inc.)
Today, bulgur wheat is being rediscovered as an industrial ingredient with key functional properties, including the provision of texture, dietary fiber, calorie reduction and binding properties in the formulation of meatless frozen, refrigerated and shelf-stable products. (Virgo Publishing, LLC)

Definition from myworld.gr:
Tο πλιγούρι δεν είναι τίποτε άλλο εκτός από αλεσμένο στάρι. Είναι ωστόσο ιδιαίτερα πλούσιο σε φυτικές ίνες και σύνθετους υδατάνθρακες.
