IslamoSophia - Food and Health

It's been less than two weeks of building the health of our family from the grains up.  It seems that every where I look I see evidences why grains are the most essential part of our diet. I want to share something with you all that has been a concern for me for about a year now.  That is hair health.  In our family, we've always had very thick, shiny and very fast growing hair, in the past year, that began to change for me and I knew that I had to look inside the body for the answer rather than look for topical treatments that, while they do help to complement a healthy diet and lifestyle and add the finishing touches to good health, are not the foundation of any health improvements.  So I began researching and asking questions.

Bulgur  (also  bulghur ,  burghul  or  bulgar ) is a cereal food made from the groats of several different wheat species, most often from durum Wheat.

At that point, the outer layers of the bran are removed — traditionally by hand — after which, the grains are cracked. It is generally available in three textures, fine, medium and coarse, and you can sometimes find organic burghul. After cracking, it is ready for steaming or boiling. The distinctive nutty taste, is the result of the inner layers of bran that are retained.  ochef .
