7.Bulgur
It’s the pre-cooked kernel of wheat. Much like pasta, bulgur comes to life after 10 minutes in hot water. It has a nutty flavor and chewy texture. You most likely have tasted bulgur in tabbouleh, the Mediterranean salad. Bulgur also can bulk up other salads as well as soups. It has more fiber than quinoa, oats, and millet to help keep your bowels healthy and may help lower your risk for some cancers.
8.Wild Rice
Despite its name, this isn’t rice but an aquatic grass seed. Wild rice grows naturally along waterways in almost every state in the U.S. It gives you twice the protein and fiber of brown rice, but less iron and calcium. It also packs whopping 30 times more antioxidant power than white rice. Plus, wild rice has a relatively low amount of fat so it stays fresher longer.
