Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro Grain, 24oz (4 Pack)

I like this Farro Grain because it's not pre-flavored with anything like cheese sauce or spices. I can cook and season it just the way I want. It has excellent flavor, cooks fast in 10 minutes, and is very nutritious. Use it like rice, add what you want to it. This is fast becoming a favorite side-dish for us! Happy with the quality and the price!

I eat Farro almost daily. It is an ancient grain that is healthier than most processed grains. It has the chewiness of pasta and does a nice job soaking up what you cook it with. After gaining a lot during lockdown, and coming into it with too much weight from too much not-caring, I decided to go on a liveable food program during the pandemic (what better way to loose weight than when everyone around you is gaining?). I season a cup of water, yogurt whey or chicken stock as I choose (frequently with garlic powder, paprika, dijon mustard and yes, ground coffee benas) and rinse the farro and simmer it for about 30 minutes while simultaneously either air-frying some salmon or chopping some skinless roast chicken which I then toss into the farro with maybe some frozen peas). It's both tasty, filling and helped me drop my weight (combined with other conscious choices). Since I eat it with such consistency, I order a four pack which lasts me 2-3 months. It's a couple go-to meals that are satisfying that make all the difference on a food program. I had never tried farro before, now it's a constant staple in my pantry.

Faro is an interesting alternative to rice, couscous, oats, and barley as a cooking grain. A slightly nutty taste, which I find pleasant. Use in place of (almost) any grain; its cooking requirements are different, so a little experimentation may help. If you find a local supplier, buy there. I now buy it at Lazy Acres near my house, instead of ordering by mail.

I have been using this brand and product since I first tried it and although the price has doubled (amp long with everything else) over the years I am very satisfied. I cannot find it locally any longer and will continue to use it as long as it is available. The texture is great and the product is very clean and fresh. I am always satisfied with Bob's Red Mill and now only hoping they will bring back critical flour and hills less barley!

Great taste, clean with no debris

If you have never had farro you are in for a great surprise starting with the fact that this grain has more protein than others of its kind and it cooks as easy as rice. I reduce the amount of water from what it says in the package because I do not like draining the liquid that has some of the nutrients in it so, I cook 1 cup of farro in 2 1/4 cups of water. The grain fluffs beautifully and has the consistency of cooked barley. It is a great substitute for brown rice because of its higher content of fiber the glycemic index is lower. I was only sad that after I ordered it the first time (4 pack) and went to re-order the price had gone much much higher. It is a shame because at that price it will not become a favorite at America's tables.

The taste of these is immeasurable be better than whole wheat kernels (AKA wheatberries). You sure to rinse them well, and/or cook in plenty of water and skim the white stuff off the top. Great with a little milk and just a dab of maple syrup stirred into the mix.

Farro is possibly the most-complicated grain for consumers to understand. Is it whole? Is it pearled? Semi-pearled? Is it spelt? Emmer? Einkorn? I happen to be very knowledgeable about farro and have cooked with it for more than 2 decades. Bob’s description says “lightly scratched.” That description doesn’t help us. However, the packaging clearly indicates that this is pearled farro. Sometimes I want whole-grain farro—and I fully understand that it requires overnight soaking and much longer cooking—and sometimes I want a 15-minute soak while I prep/cook its companions, and a much shorter cooking time. These days, I cook farro in my Instant Pot. Here’s a typical Mary use of Bob’s farro that will go into a vegetarian casserole, probably with beans (farro loves beans!): 1) use the IP to caramelize 3-4 onions; 2) use the 1+ cups of onion juice produced by that process to soak for 10-15 minutes 1 cup of Bob’s farro, adding water if necessary to equal 2 cups of liquid; 3) pressure-cook the farro mixture in the IP on high for 13 minutes. Perfection! Finally, I can’t buy Bob’s farro in stores here where I live in the middle of U.S. nowhere, so I’m so grateful that I can buy it via Amazon.

Buena calidad
