About Farro

Farro is an ancient whole grain with roots in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, prized for its nutty flavor and chewy texture. Often mistaken as a single variety, it typically refers to three types of hulled wheat: einkorn, emmer, and spelt. Nutritionally, farro is a powerhouse, rich in fiber, protein, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, making it an excellent choice for sustained energy and digestion support. Its complex carbohydrates are low on the glycemic index, helping to regulate blood sugar levels. Farro is also a source of antioxidants, promoting heart health. Though it contains gluten, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease, it aligns well with vegetarian and Mediterranean diets, and can be used in salads, soups, and risottos. Its versatility and nutrient density make farro a wholesome addition to balanced meals.
