This organic farro is an heirloom emmer wheat variety cultivated to preserve its ancient genetic profile and distinctive flavor notes of cashew and cinnamon. The whole, non-pearled grains retain their bran layer, providing exceptional nutritional content and a uniquely satisfying chewy texture when cooked. Prepare as the base for hearty grain salads or buddha bowls, serve as a nutritious side dish with main courses, or create traditional Italian insalata di farro with celery, dried cranberries, fresh herbs, and seasonal vegetables.
Cooking Instructions: In a 3 quart saucepan combine 1 cup farro, 4 cups of water or broth, 1 tsp salt. Stir lightly, bring to a boil, cover with a tight fitting lid, then reduce heat (low boil). Simmer for 40-50 minutes and drain excess liquid.
