We are an oatmeal-for-breakfast family, but lately I wanted to try some other grains for a substantial start to my day. When I prepared this bowl for my husband, he asked me if he could have it for dessert that night—it’s that good!
Farro is an ancient strain of wheat that looks like plump barley kernels. You can find farro in health food stores, online and now in many supermarkets. I like Bob’s Red Mill organic. Make sure to select whole grain farro; pearlized farro has the hull removed and cooks in half the time. Some are quick-cooking while this untreated whole wheat farro takes longer to cook. It’s best to check the package for specific cooking instructions.
