Details

Farro is an early variety of wheat that originated in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago and played an important role in the diets of ancient peoples; it has been found in the tombs of Egyptian kings and is even believed by some to be the origin of all modern species of wheat. Add this delicious, nutrient-dense ancient grain to your pantry with Bob's Red Mill organic farro! Farro is renowned for its rich, nutty, earthy flavor and its hearty, chewy, satisfying texture. At Bob's Red Mill, their USDA certified organic, pearled farro has had its outer bran removed in order to ensure a quick cook time while still preserving the grain's nutritional content. 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!

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. For a quicker cook time, cover the farro with water and soak it overnight in the refrigerator. Drain, then cook the same way, removing from heat after 10 minutes. Once it's prepared, farro can be used in a multitude of deliciously different recipes!

Farro was a staple of the ancient Roman diet and has been a popular ingredient in Italian cuisine for centuries. To bring classic Italian flavor to your establishment, try preparing farro in the style of risotto to create a rich and delicious "farroto." For easy Mediterranean flavor, you can also try creating a refreshing and healthy salad by tossing cooked farro with tomatoes, mozzarella, toasted pine nuts, and pesto!
