Working with bulgur

Bulgur sits in the grains, rice & legumes group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Coarse bulgur measures lighter than fine. This figure is for medium grind.

If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
