Rustichella Grain Farro

Expand your pantry with the addition of this Rustichella Whole Grain Farro. Also known as farro intero, this ancient grain was one of the first to ever be discovered. Although it was a staple in the diet of the Roman army as they conquered Europe, its popularity is just beginning to take off in the U.S. The farro grain is sometimes compared to barley and oats since, unlike wheat, its husk adheres to the grain. Farro's benefits include an impressive nutritional value, with it supplying a high fiber content along with protein and vitamin E. This also makes the grain more filling, so it's an excellent choice for a healthy, balanced diet. It requires just 20 minutes of soaking and is versatile enough to be used in soups and stews, as a side mixed with fresh vegetables, or for making a cold farro salad. Each bag of Rustichella d'Abruzzo Whole Grain Farro weighs approximately 1.1 lb. and is imported from Italy. We recommend it for Pamela Sheldon John's Farro Salad in Cucina Povera.
