Roland Foods Pearled Italian Farro, Specialty Imported Food, 47.9 Ounce Bag, Pack of 1

We ordered farro risotto while out to dinner one night and loved it. Found this risotto and have been making our own version of the dish at home. This is very easy to cook and makes a delicious side for any meal.

This is delicious. Truly wonderful—chewy, nutty, satisfying. Whole family loves it. Just be aware that it’s pearled—basically removing many nutrients. It’s the “white bread” of farro but so so good.

I have purchased this farro brand several times now. The quality and taste is exceptional, and the price point beats the brands sold in my local grocery stores. I prefer farro over brown rice because of the hearty texture, and this does not disappoint.

Farro is an ancient type of wheat, one of the oldest known to man, mainly used in Italian dishes. I bought some to try, and we enjoyed it so much that I plan to always have some in the pantry. I soaked it overnight, as suggested by a website I found. It cooks faster after soaking, although it stays chewy after cooking. It also takes somewhat longer to cook than wheat, brown rice, spelt or barley - 30-45 minutes. Farro can be used in soups the same way barley is used, or it can be made into an oatmeal type breakfast cereal (yummy with honey or maple syrup), or it can be used as a seasoned side dish the way you would serve brown rice. It would also be good in cold salads similar to tabbouleh. It has a nutty, wholesome flavor and is very filling without being heavy. It's an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, and it has twice the fiber and protein of wheat. Farro has has low levels of gluten, for those with dietary restrictions. It contains healthy amounts of iron, niacin, magnesium and zinc. Roland Farro is a great product at a great price.

Good farro

First time we ordered it came in fine. The second time we ordered it. Both bags came in busted. They both broke on the seam. Prodect is good though

At long last, I have found the grain that truly understands me. Roland Foods Italian Farro isn’t just a food—it’s a lifestyle. While quinoa continues to pander to the masses, and rice remains a mere sidekick to actual meals, farro stands alone in all its nutty, chewy, ancient glory. This is the grain of emperors, gladiators, and, presumably, the kind of people who own artisanal olive oil dispensers. The moment you open the bag, you can feel the history. Is that the scent of a Tuscan hillside? Perhaps. Is it actually just whole grain wheat? Also perhaps. But who am I to question destiny? Cooking farro is a meditative experience. You have to soak it (or not, depending on how reckless you are), simmer it, and then lovingly fluff it like you’re raising it to be the heir to your culinary empire. The result? A perfectly tender, slightly al dente grain that makes you question why you ever settled for bland alternatives. Farro makes you feel like a better person. Toss it into a salad, and suddenly you’re a health-conscious icon. Add it to soup, and you’re a rustic, old-world chef. Serve it with roasted vegetables, and you’re basically a James Beard nominee. Yes, it’s a bit pricey. But can you really put a price on achieving your full gastronomic potential? I think not. Roland Foods Italian Farro: Because regular grains are for peasants.

We reordered these so we love the product. We include it in our rice pilaf to add additional nutrients and textures. I personally love the taste...:)
