Is cracked wheat the same as bulgar wheat?

[elsie3]

This question is way out there, but I can't find the answer.

I've had cracked wheat cereal my whole life (although I didn't appreciate my mother feeding it to me as a kid). Most mornings I eat a combination of cooked cracked wheat, millet, and oats. I have checked several web-sites as well as calorie guides, and I can't find any listing for cracked wheat. Does anyone know if it is the same as bulgar wheat?

Thanks,

Maybe. I know bulgar is precooked (steamed?) cracked wheat (which is why all you need to do is soak it in hot H2O to make tabouleh). Regular cracked wheat isn't precooked.
