What it is
Farro is an ancient grain, a type of wheat that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Pearled farro has had the outer bran layer and some of the inner layers removed, then polished to create a smoother texture and faster cooking time. It is a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Why it's used
Farro is used as a whole grain in dishes like salads, soups, and pilafs, offering a chewy texture and nutty flavor. It can also be ground into flour for baking. Manufacturers use it for its nutritional content and desirable texture.
Health notes
Farro is a source of fiber, protein, and various nutrients. The FDA considers wheat, from which farro is derived, to be a major food allergen. JECFA has evaluated wheat and established acceptable gluten intake levels for individuals with celiac disease. Evidence suggests that whole grains, including farro, are part of a healthy diet.
