Organic Whole Grain Emmer Farro

Our most popular seller,  Emmer is a type of farro (ancient hulled wheat) that dates back to early civilization. It is a simple grain of 28 chromosomes that pre-dates Spelt. It is prepared like brown rice and cooks in 50-60 minutes (or can be soaked overnight to reduce the cooking time). It makes a fabulous pilaf, grain salad, risotto, addition to soup, or sprouted for bread and salads. When cooked, its dark, plump berries add full-bodied flavor, chewy texture, and high nutritional value (over 16% protein) to every meal.  This versatile grain is a staple food in our household.  When Emmer is mixed with lentils, beans, or chickpeas it makes a complete protein. This product received the national EXPO West  “NEXTY” award in 2020 for “best new organic food.”

On stovetop, add 1 cup Emmer to 4 cups of water or stock with a pinch of salt. Boil on high for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Cover and simmer for 50-60 minutes until berries are plump and chewy. Drain excess liquid. Serve hot or cold.
Emmer can also be cooked in a rice cooker on the brown rice setting.
One cup makes 3-4 servings.
