 Farro is related to wheat but is more easily digestible. It's also known as Emmer. It has a high nutritional value.
Farro is prepared like brown rice, cooks in 50-60 minutes, or can be soaked overnight to reduce the cooking time. It makes a fabulous pilaf, grain salad and risotto. It can be added to soups, and sprouted or ground for breads. When cooked it adds a sweet, full-bodied flavor and a chewy texture.
