A staple food for millenia, farro—the hearty grain with a nutty flavor that’s packed with protein and fiber—first became popular in the U.S. via Italy, where it’s the star of Tuscan classics like farrotto (a farro risotto) and zuppa di farro (farro soup). These days, farro is prized for retaining its al-dente texture long after cooking, making it the perfect standalone side dish or base for all kinds of grain bowls or a hearty farro salad.

Words by Katia Amore Most people taking my cooking classes ask me about the different kinds of Italian flour we use during the lessons and where they can purchase them once back in their country. While in big cities you can definitely find an Italian deli selling them, for those of you who do not live in London, New York, Chicago, Copenaghen, etc, this might be more difficult. Luckily, they are now also available on-line. Here is a selection we added to our shop, just follow the link to order. Bulgur, Fat Burning Foods, Gluten Free Shopping List, Healthy Shopping List, Whole Grain Foods, Gluten Free Shopping, Mango Sorbet, Grain Foods, Kombucha
