The Great Grain Showdown: Bulgur vs. Couscous vs. Quinoa (Distributor Analysis)

Consumers in the global food market are increasingly seeking "healthier" and "more sustainable" alternatives. Securing its place on shelves next to Couscous and Quinoa, Anatolian Bulgur stands out with both its nutritional value and price advantage. So, why should you, as a food distributor, prioritize bulgur?

As Nefis Agro, with our export experience to 25 countries, we compared these three popular grains for you:

1. Bulgur vs. Couscous: Similar Look, Different Content

Although often confused, there is a huge difference.
• Couscous: A man-made pasta derivative made from semolina. Low nutritional value.
• Bulgur: A natural Whole Grain product. It contains 4 times more fiber and protein than couscous.

Marketed as a "Healthy Couscous Alternative" in the European market, our Extra Coarse (Basbasi) Bulgur receives full marks from consumers.

2. Bulgur vs. Quinoa: Battle of the Superfoods

Quinoa is popular but very expensive. Bulgur, while having almost the same protein and fiber values as Quinoa, is much more economical in price.

• Sustainability: Bulgur has a much lower carbon footprint than Quinoa.
• Taste: The nutty flavor of bulgur adapts easily to global cuisines.
