Curious about ancient grains? These grains that have been around for ages are coming back to modern kitchens – and for good reason! There are many nutritional benefits to be gained from them. You can check out my post on 10 Ancient Grains You Should Be Eating for more information. As a spin-off to my 10 ancient grains post, I’m doing a series of RD curated recipes featuring each ancient grain. I’ve already highlighted amaranth, barley and bulgur. Now I’m sharing all things Farro!
Farro, also known as Emmer, is an ancient strain of wheat and the oldest cultivated grain in the world. It is the traditional grain of the Mediterranean. It is high in fiber and a good source of iron and protein.
Farro is coming back into popularity, showing up in many gourmet specialty dishes. But don’t let that scare you away! It is easy to prepare, yet exotic enough to impress your friends and family. Farro puffs like rice when cooked but is still slightly chewy. To help you get started enjoying the many benefits of farro, I’m sharing 20 delicious dietitian approved farro recipes!
