Hi rabih, thanks a lot for your sweet comment, miss you, miss working in the same company.
According to wikipedia:
Bulgur (also bulghur or burghul)[1](from Turkish bulgur [2], known as πλιγούρι, pligoúri, in Greek, bollgur in Albanian and as burghul (برغل) in Arabic) is a cereal food made from several different wheat species, but most often from durum wheat.
