  • Nutrition Tip

    Farro is an ancient grain farmed for over 10,000 years. As an ancestor of modern-day wheat, it includes the three grain types spelt, einkorn, and emmer. Loved for its chewy texture and nutty flavor, farro is extremely versatile and can be substituted for rice in soups, salads, risottos, stews, or casseroles. Try adding farro to your breakfast bowl, in similar style to muesli. Not only is farro delicious but it also stands out as a nutrient powerhouse. It is an excellent source of fiber, protein, niacin (Vitamin B2), iron, magnesium, and zinc.
