Bulgar Wheat

Directions: prepare according to package instructions and portions needed. Remove from heat.

Bulgur Wheat is great to have on hand for a quick-to cook whole grain. The grain can be prepared with water or broth in less than 15 minutes. Once cooked, it is light and fluffy, offers a slightly nutty flavor, and adds fiber, plant protein, and complex carbohydrates to a meal. In just one cup serving, bulgur wheat provides 14% magnesium needs and 10% iron needs for the day in addition to other vitamins and minerals. The grain is versatile and works well in both hot or cold dishes.

Steamed Kale

Yields 4-6 servings

• 2 bundles of kale
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lemon, squeezed

Directions: Warm pan with drizzle of olive oil and add garlic until fragrant. Sauté and add kale with sprinkle of salt and lemon juice. Once the kale turns bright green, remove from heat.

Each cup serving of cooked kale provides 35% vitamin C needs for the day, 17% calcium, and 3.5 grams of protein. Kale being a cruciferous vegetable, this leafy green also provides cancer protective compounds.
