Farro 101 – Everything You Need To Know – Clean & Delicious®
Farro is a pretty trendy grain these days which is funny because technically it’s the oldest grain to exist.
Farro comes from a strain of wheat called Emmer Wheat and it is believed that all grains that exist today have derived from this original strain. So like I mention in the video, Farro is kind of like the great-grandmother of grains.
It falls somewhere between wheat berries and barley as far as taste and texture and could easily be used in place of brown rice (although farro has gluten and brown rice does not).
There are three types of farro:
Whole Farro is the whole seed (it still has the outer layer of bran in tact). It is the least processed form of faro but does need to be soaked and takes up to 50 minutes to cook. Whole faro is very creamy when cooked up so it works great in dishes like faro risotto.
Semi-Pearled Farro has some of the outer bran layer removed. It does not need to soak and takes about 25-30 minutes to cook.
Pearled Farro has the entire layer of bran removed and cooks up in about 15 minutes, no soaking required.
