About

Dalia is a type of porridge made from cracked wheat, also known as bulgur. It is usually cooked with milk and sugar, and sometimes flavored with cardamom, raisins, or nuts. It is a nutritious and filling breakfast or snack, and can be served hot or cold. Since dalia is made from whole wheat kernels, it is an excellent source of fiber and complex carbohydrate.
