- Imported Italian tuna in extra virgin olive oil is more expensive than regular canned tuna, but it has a lot more flavour. You can buy this tuna at Italian specialty food shops and upscale grocery stores. Bulgur comes from the Middle East. It consists of whole-wheat kernels which have been steamed and dry. Most Middle Eastern markets and health food stores carry it.
