Packaged in a convenient 1.1-pound bag, this premium ancient grain is a cherished staple of the traditional Mediterranean diet. Pearled farro features a beautiful light brown hue and a characteristic plump shape.

Ways to use

The robust, nutty flavor and firm texture of pearled farro make it incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It serves as a hearty base for vibrant, fresh garden salads and absorbs savory broths beautifully when added to warm soups and classic Italian minestrone. You can also use it as a wholesome alternative to arborio rice for a creamy, satisfying farrotto. Simply mix the cooked grains with roasted root vegetables, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and fresh herbs for a quick, comforting lunch or dinner.

Storage recommendations

To preserve the maximum freshness and extend the shelf life of your pearled farro, transfer any unused grains to an airtight container after opening the package. Keep the container located in a cool, dark, and completely dry pantry or cupboard, well away from direct sunlight, ambient moisture, and extreme heat sources like your kitchen stove.

Additional instructions

Enjoy a simple and comforting farro salad in just a few steps. Rinse one cup of pearled farro under cool water and place it in a pot with three cups of water or vegetable broth. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer softly for twenty-five to thirty minutes until the grains are tender but still pleasantly chewy. Drain any excess liquid, let it cool slightly, and toss the warm grains with halved cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and a light lemon vinaigrette.
