History

In Lebanon and Syria there is a “qadb”, an herb that has been eaten since 3000 BC and is the basis of Middle Eastern cuisine.
Eating this herb with bulgur was the beginning of Tabbouleh.
This way of eating began in the days of Mamluk Sultanate (1250-1517) in Bekaa Valley in Lebanon and Syria.
※Although there is no clear record, considering the history of wheat cultivation, the theory that it started at this place at this time is influential.
Eventually it became known around the world through immigrants, and in the 20th century it was recognized as one of Lebanon’s leading dishes.
