Also referred to as Emmer grain, Farro in Italian. This ancient grain is dated back 20,000 years. Popular in Europe, this grain is gaining popularity in the states as a healthy whole grain side or main vegetarian course. Though similar in texture, farro is more nutritious than rice and provides fiber, antioxidants, minerals and a rich, nutty flavor. Great as a risotto, in soups or a cold salad with asparagus and feta.
