About Wheaten farl

Wheaten Farl is a traditional Irish soda bread, made with whole wheat flour, baking soda, buttermilk, and a pinch of salt. Its name comes from the word "farl," meaning "quarter" in Gaelic, as the dough is shaped into a round and cut into four pieces before cooking. Unlike yeast-based breads, it relies on the reaction between buttermilk and baking soda for leavening, giving it a quick, dense texture. Wheaten Farl is rich in dietary fiber thanks to the whole wheat flour, making it a great choice for supporting digestion and maintaining steady energy. It's typically low in added sugars and fats, though its nutritional profile can vary depending on added spreads or toppings. Traditionally pan-fried or baked, it’s a wholesome accompaniment to soups, stews, or a hearty breakfast, offering a nourishing taste of Ireland's culinary heritage.
