Farro Pearled | Organic

Farro is high in plant-based protein and iron, making it a great way for vegetarians and vegans to get these essential nutrients. It's also especially high in dietary fiber, which helps fuel you up to keep you feeling full and satisfied without pesky cravings! This semi-pearled farro has a rich, nutty, earthy flavor and hearty, chewy, satisfying texture. A popular ancient grain, it can be used as an alternative to rice, quinoa, or barley.

Cooking farro is very similar to cooking other grains like rice and quinoa. To prepare, rinse 1 cup of farro, put it in a pot, and add 3 cups of water or stock (for extra flavor, add aromatics like garlic, leeks, onion, shallot, or fresh herbs). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 30 minutes or until the grains are al dente, then drain and serve. Once it's prepared, farro can be used in a multitude of deliciously different recipes! Add it to salads, soups, and casseroles, or serve it alone as a filling side!
