Product Description

Pounded Wheat, also known as dövme buğday or yarma, is a natural and nutritious grain made by removing the husk of whole wheat and pounding it into coarse pieces. Unlike bulgur, pounded wheat is not precooked, preserving its rich fiber, protein, and essential nutrients. This wholesome grain is widely used in traditional dishes like keşkek, soups, pilafs, and salads, making it a versatile and healthy addition to any kitchen.
