Farro grain has fed the Mediterranean and Near Eastern populations for centuries. Farro was the standard ration for the Roman soldiers who traveled throughout the Western World as well as a primary ingredient in several dishes that fed the Roman poor. This hearty grain has regained popularity and is now found on the menus of gourmet restaurants and has become a staple in many households throughout Europe and North America.
Farro is often compared to spelt and is used as an alternative to wheat flour by the healthy-conscious cook or those with sensitivities to gluten. Spelt and farro differ in that while spelt is considered ready-to-eat, farro must be soaked before usage and it remains nutty in texture while spelt becomes soft and mushy once cooked.
