Cooked farro is a hearty, nutty whole grain that has roots in ancient Mediterranean diets and is particularly associated with Italian cuisine. This versatile grain is made from wheat species like emmer, einkorn, or spelt, and offers a chewy texture ideal for salads, soups, and side dishes. Nutritionally, farro is an excellent source of fiber, protein, and important vitamins such as B3 (niacin) and magnesium, supporting digestion, heart health, and sustained energy. It is comparatively lower in calories than many refined grains, making it a smart choice for balanced meals. However, as a wheat-based product, farro is not gluten-free and may not be suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Its complex carbohydrates and low glycemic index can be particularly beneficial for blood sugar management, providing a wholesome and satisfying addition to any diet.
