Black Beans
Black Beans are a small, shiny variety of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), especially popular in Latin American cuisine, though it can also be found in Cajun and Creole cuisines of south Louisiana. They are often called simply black beans, although this can cause confusion with other black beans. The black turtle bean has a dense, meaty texture, which makes it popular in vegetarian dishes, such as frijoles negros and the Mexican-American black bean burrito.
Bulgur Wheat (Course Ground)
Bulgur Wheat (Course Ground) is a quick-cooking form of whole durum wheat that has been cleaned, parboiled, and dried. The result is a nutritious, versatile wheat product with a pleasant, nut-like flavor and an extended shelf life that allows it to be stored for long periods of time. Often confused with cracked wheat, bulgur differs from it because it has been pre-cooked. With its high fibre content, excellent nutritional value and versatility for recipes, bulgur wheat is an ideal food in a vegetarian diet. It is excellent as a meat extender or meat substitute in vegetarian dishes and is a component of many varieties of meatless burgers found on supermarket shelves everywhere.
