Fair Farro

 

Want to celebrate spring with edible plants? Try this amazing Spring Farro Salad, with the freshest of spring greens and edible flowers paired with shelf-stable ingredients like jarred artichoke hearts and farro, an ancient grain loved by the Egyptians and Romans. In fact, farro is an overarching name for three grains from which wheat evolved: farro piccolo (einkorn), farro medio (emmer), and farro grande (spelt).

 


 

 

And here are four more satisfying farro recipes: https://www.npr.org/2013/10/02/227838385/farro-an-ancient-if-complicated-grain-worth-figuring-out

 

When cooking farro, be sure you know if your product is semi-pearled, pearled, or whole grain with the bran intact. The latter needs to be soaked overnight before cooking.

 

Another delicious spring farro salad has been created by Whole Grains Council/Oldways. Find the recipe here.
