About Faro

Farro is an ancient grain with roots in Mediterranean cuisine, often associated with Italy. A type of hulled wheat, farro is prized for its nutty flavor, chewy texture, and versatility in salads, soups, and side dishes. Nutritionally, farro is a powerhouse, packed with fiber, protein, and complex carbohydrates, making it a satisfying choice for energy and digestion. It also provides essential nutrients like magnesium, iron, and B vitamins, which support bone health, oxygen transport, and energy metabolism. Farro is lower in fat and calories, making it a heart-healthy alternative to refined grains. While farro is widely considered healthy, it does contain gluten, so it is unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Incorporating farro into a balanced diet can enhance nutrient intake while adding variety and flavor to meals.
