Buckwheat, oatmeal, pearl barley, millet, semolina. And what do we know about other, "atypical" cereals? What are they needed for? What is their use? Let's try to figure it out together.

First on our list is bulgur. An interesting name for an interesting grain. Bulgur is made from wheat grains. Many readers will now call bulgur a “brother” of white bread, deciding that it will negatively affect a slim figure. And they will be wrong.
