Tabouleh is a bulgur wheat-based salad. The figures here describe a prepared recipe from a recipe collection, rather than dry bulgur wheat. Per 100g, it provides 17g of carbohydrate, 4.6g of fat, 2.6g of protein and 13mg of vitamin C. Carbohydrate is its main energy-providing nutrient.

Carbohydrate supplies energy for the body, while vitamin C supports normal collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Bulgur is made from wheat and contains gluten, so tabouleh is not suitable for a gluten-free diet. Salt and fat content can vary with the ingredients and dressing used. Full nutrient figures for this recipe are in the tables below.
