Grains Pearled Farro (1x11LB )

Product Description

Farro is the oldest cultivated grain in the world. Extremely popular in the Middle East during biblical times, farro is able to grow in poor soil conditions and is naturally resistant to fungus. Farro has lost popularity during modern times because it is a low yielding wheat compared to other varieties. Farro is a distinct cousin of modern wheat and is very similar in texture and taste to spelt. Despite this, farro is still grown, both wild and cultivated. It is a popular food in Italy, parts of Europe, Asia and parts of the Middle East. When farro is harvested, it is divided into three grades, long, medium and cracked. The grain looks like a plump barley grain. Most people advise that you purchase whole grain farro and crack it yourself in a blender or coffee grinder to maintain freshness.
