Farro (2 lb)

Description:

An ancient grain from the wheat family that has long been popular in Mediterranean cuisine. These small, chestnut-hued grains are widely-loved for its delicious nutty flavor and unique, chewy texture-similar to barley, but with stronger hints of caramel undertones. This whole grain is not only fun to eat (they pop a little when chewed!) but is also a nutritional powerhouse. Farro is an excellent source of protein, gut-healthy fiber, free-radicals-fighting antioxidants, and health-enhancing minerals. A much healthier alternative to white rice or other refined grains.

Preparation tips

Soak Zibari Farro for at least 30 minutes before cooking. In a medium, heavy-bottomed pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of farro, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquid is fully absorbed and farro is al-dente-about 20 to 30 minutes.
