A sturdy whole grain that stays pleasantly chewy.
Farro is sold dry and cooked in water or broth until tender. It works well when the dish needs a grain that can hold its shape with dressings, roasted vegetables, beans, or herbs.

Preparation
Rinse first, then cook until tender.
Use the package timing when available because pearled, semi-pearled, and whole farro cook at different speeds. Drain any extra liquid once the grains are tender but still chewy.
