Making of burghul in Yabrud during the sixties

Making of burghul in Yabrud during the sixties

A man stirs with a shovel in a large vat during the production of the Burghul (Bulgur). In this process, the wheat grits of durum wheat or common wheat pass through the stages of paraboiling (hydrothermal pre-treatment), subsequent drying, mechanical removal of the exposed bran, cutting of the grain with a grit cutter and subsequent sieving into various grain sizes. Here we see a rural scene of traditional production by precooking the wheat in a large copper vat.
