Best Farro Perlato Cereal Recipes
FARRO PERLATO CEREAL
Farro perlato is the Italian word for emmer wheat. It is a wheat grain, actually a kernel that resembles barley from Popola di Foligno in the heart of Umbria. I have been looking for ways to incorporate this grain that has lots of fiber and protein into our meals. Enjoy this creation!

HOW TO COOK FARRO
A chewy grain with a delicious nutty flavor, farro works well in grain salads, soups, risotto, and as a side dish. It's part of the wheat family and long been popular in Italy. We like it's versatility and ability to work well with strong ingredients like beets or salty cheese.
