Farro, aka spelt, is a quick & easy whole grain to prepare. In just 15 minutes or so you can have a filling, healthy base for mixed veggies or a side dish with your favorite meal. Some health benefits include blood sugar regulation, cholesterol lowering benefits, B3, protein, zinc, magnesium & iron, easily digestible for those with gluten intolerance. Pearled farro is NOT a whole grain as the germ has been removed.
