These wheat kernels go through a process of steaming, drying and crushing prior to their packaging, allowing the Roland distributors to pay attention to detail during the production stages. In contrast to most wheat items, the bulgar variety has a tender texture. Although it is similar to cracked wheat, it is made differently and has a distinctively chewy taste. With a [high fiber count](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lory-starch-elara), it is also a healthy alternative for those looking to incorporate a filling addition to [salads, pastas and soups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barilla-protein-rigatoni). In terms of preparation, cooking bulgar is relatively simple. All one needs to do is boil the kernels until they become soft. Once cool, they can be used in a variety of dishes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Steamed Grain Products:** Steamed grain products offer a tender texture and distinctively chewy taste, providing a unique alternative to standard grain products. - **Attention to Detail in Production:** Attention to detail during the production stages of steamed grain products allows for a high-quality and consistent product. - **Healthy Alternative for Filling Addition:** Steamed grain products like Roland Bulgar Wheat provide a healthy and high-fiber addition to salads, pastas, and soups. ### Where This Applies - **Food Manufacturing:** The food manufacturing industry can explore the production of steamed grain products as a disruptive innovation within the grain product market. - **Healthy Food and Beverage:** The healthy food and beverage industry can incorporate steamed grain products as a nutritious and filling option for a variety of dishes. - **Restaurant and Food Service:** Restaurants and food service providers can offer steamed grain products as a unique and flavorful alternative to traditional grain options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nutritional Ancient Grain Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brand-wheat.md) - [Whole-Grain Barley Flours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beneo-2.md) - [Ancient Grain Grits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gruff-ancient-grain-grits.md) - [Ancient Grain Sourdough Noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sourdough-noodles.md) - [Quick-Cooking Ancient Grains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/10-minute-farro.md) - [High-Protein Couscous](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boostcous.md) - [Unconventional Ancient Grain Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancient-grain-pastas.md) - [Bowl-Packaged Rice Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multigrain-rice-bowls.md) - [High-Fiber Protein-Rich Rices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bens-original-10-medley.md)
