EverydayDry

Farro is an ancient wheat grain that has been a staple of Mediterranean cuisine for thousands of years. This hearty whole grain is characterized by its nutty flavor and chewy texture when cooked, offering higher protein content than modern wheat varieties. Available in whole, semi-pearled, and pearled forms, farro provides substantial fiber, iron, and B vitamins while maintaining a lower gluten content than common wheat, though it is not gluten-free.
