The taste of these is immeasurable be better than whole wheat kernels (AKA wheatberries). You sure to rinse them well, and/or cook in plenty of water and skim the white stuff off the top. Great with a little milk and just a dab of maple syrup stirred into the mix. Read more
I eat Farro almost daily. It is an ancient grain that is healthier than most processed grains. It has the chewiness of pasta and does a nice job soaking up what you cook it with. After gaining a lot during lockdown, and coming into it with too much weight from too much not-caring, I decided to go on a liveable food program during the pandemic (what better way to loose weight than when everyone around you is gaining?). I season a cup of water, yogurt whey or chicken stock as I choose (frequently with garlic powder, paprika, dijon mustard and yes, ground coffee benas) and rinse the farro and simmer it for about 30 minutes while simultaneously either air-frying some salmon or chopping some skinless roast chicken which I then toss into the farro with maybe some frozen peas). It's both tasty, filling and helped me drop my weight (combined with other conscious choices). Since I eat it with such consistency, I order a four pack which lasts me 2-3 months. It's a couple go-to meals that are satisfying that make all the difference on a food program. I had never tried farro before, now it's a constant staple in my pantry. Read more

Faro is an interesting alternative to rice, couscous, oats, and barley as a cooking grain. A slightly nutty taste, which I find pleasant. Use in place of (almost) any grain; its cooking requirements are different, so a little experimentation may help. If you find a local supplier, buy there. I now buy it at Lazy Acres near my house, instead of ordering by mail. Read more
Be prepared--as I was not--for it to stock all over the cooking utensil as the husk loosens and flies around in the boiling water. The first time I cooked it in an electric pressure pot it did fine. For some reason, the second time around, the valves got clogged with sticky chaff and I ended up de-pressurizing it and leaving it to simply boil for half an hour. I'm not sure what made the difference, but it may have been the larger amount of water I used in the first batch. It is delicious grain Read more

As a Korean, rice is a staple in my home but due to recent health concerns, I’ve been trying to make healthier choices. I started mixing this farro with Bob’s Red Mill Organic Kamut Khorasan Wheat Berries and Korean white rice. I also add a bit of olive oil before cooking it in the rice cooker. The result? Nutritious, filling, and surprisingly delicious. I now buy this in bulk it’s that good and great for your health. Read more
