This steaming process ensures a light, fluffy texture and prevents the grains from clumping together. Other old recipes originated closer to home. Rowland Hill, from Glemsford, and his son James, provided several family favourites. Medium and coarse bulgur grains need more time and heat to cook thoroughly. They’re typically simmered in water or broth until tender and the liquid is fully absorbed.

Dry the meat on kitchen paper – never wash in water – Washing spreads bacteria and also makes the meat mushy. A terrible practice! Ben Smith, Co-Founder and Head of Nutritional Development said: “I pioneered the nutrition industry, by making the concept of tailored nutrition accessible online over 10 years ago and have since helped hundreds of thousands of people achieve their health and fitness goals. In searching for my own solution, I found Ben and the #itsfine lifestyle and joined the business with the goal of rescuing people from fad diets.”Bulgur Wheat: When choosing the right type of bulgur wheat for your dish, consider the texture and what you’re making. Fine bulgur wheat works best for dishes that require a delicate texture. For recipes that call for a firmer, heartier texture, like pilafs or grain salads, medium bulgur wheat is your go-to choice. Coarse bulgur wheat is perfect for dishes that benefit from a chewy, robust texture. Make sure to follow the specific cooking instructions for the grain size you’re using to achieve the ideal texture and taste for your dish. Some of the most popular FAD diets on the market cost up to 17 times the monthly cost of #itsfine, making them not only extremely expensive but also ineffective in the long run. Nuts & Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, pecans or peanuts; chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. You can also do any nut butter or seed butter.
