Organic Emmer Farro 1 Lb-

Our most popular seller, Emmer is a type of farro (an ancient hulled wheat) that dates back to early civilization. It's a simple grain of 28 chromosomes that pre-dates spelt. It is prepared like brown rice and cooks in 50-60 minutes (or can be soaked overnight to reduce the cooking time). It makes a fabulous pilaf, grain salad, risotto, addition to soup, or sprouted for breads and salads. When cooked, its dark, plump berries add sweet, full-bodied flavor, deliciously chewy texture, and high nutritional value (over 16% protein) to every meal. It is a lovely, versatile grain that is a staple in our household. Cooking Directions: Add 1 cup of emmer farro to 4 cups of water or stock. Add a pinch of salt. Boil on high for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Cover and simmer for 50-60 minutes until berries are plump and chewy. Drain excess liquid. 1 cup makes 3-4 servings.
