Bob's Red MillOrganic Farro Grain, 24oz (Pack of 1) - Non GMO, Vegan, KosherUSDA Organic

As a Korean, rice is a staple in my home but due to recent health concerns, I’ve been trying to make healthier choices. I started mixing this farro with Bob’s Red Mill Organic Kamut Khorasan Wheat Berries and Korean white rice. I also add a bit of olive oil before cooking it in the rice cooker. The result? Nutritious, filling, and surprisingly delicious. I now buy this in bulk it’s that good and great for your health.

Highly recommend anything Bob's, it's all good stuff

This Farro is better than what Bob's Red Mill sells in the smaller bags that you can find at your natural health food store. This farro puts all the other farro to shame. There are no cooking instructions, but don't let that deter you. I cook mine in an instapot, I put three cups water and a pinch of salt on the Saute setting to get it hot, and then Istir in two cups of the Farro from the product here, close the lid, change the setting to high pressure cook for 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, I wait about five minutes to release the pressure and wha la! Amazing farro. I eat farro in the morning with cream and maple syrup and blueberries for breakfast. For lunch, I have it mixed in with a fresh salad of avocados, tomatos, cucumbers and carrots. For dinner, I serve farro instead of rice.

I love making Farro grains with some of our dinner meals. It has a great taste! Cooks up really well in a pot of boiling/simmering water in 30 mins. You can add just about anything to it. I like to put some warmed up goat cheese on mine. I would use this as a nice substitute for rice or quinoa.

Farro is possibly the most-complicated grain for consumers to understand. Is it whole? Is it pearled? Semi-pearled? Is it spelt? Emmer? Einkorn? I happen to be very knowledgeable about farro and have cooked with it for more than 2 decades. Bob’s description says “lightly scratched.” That description doesn’t help us. However, the packaging clearly indicates that this is pearled farro. Sometimes I want whole-grain farro—and I fully understand that it requires overnight soaking and much longer cooking—and sometimes I want a 15-minute soak while I prep/cook its companions, and a much shorter cooking time. These days, I cook farro in my Instant Pot. Here’s a typical Mary use of Bob’s farro that will go into a vegetarian casserole, probably with beans (farro loves beans!): 1) use the IP to caramelize 3-4 onions; 2) use the 1+ cups of onion juice produced by that process to soak for 10-15 minutes 1 cup of Bob’s farro, adding water if necessary to equal 2 cups of liquid; 3) pressure-cook the farro mixture in the IP on high for 13 minutes. Perfection! Finally, I can’t buy Bob’s farro in stores here where I live in the middle of U.S. nowhere, so I’m so grateful that I can buy it via Amazon.

Be prepared--as I was not--for it to stock all over the cooking utensil as the husk loosens and flies around in the boiling water. The first time I cooked it in an electric pressure pot it did fine. For some reason, the second time around, the valves got clogged with sticky chaff and I ended up de-pressurizing it and leaving it to simply boil for half an hour. I'm not sure what made the difference, but it may have been the larger amount of water I used in the first batch. It is delicious grain

This is a great product. If you have a lot of options for grocery stores then you should definitely check around for the best price. We didn't realize this was sold at our local stores and paid twice as much on amazon. This is still a great product, but I wish we had tried local first.

Farro can be a bit tricky to find at every grocery store, and the price often varies when you do. I came across this great deal on Amazon and decided to add it to my Subscribe & Save. Now, I never have to hunt for it or remember to reorder. With this box of four, we go through it about every four months—it’s super convenient!If you are already reading this review, I assume that you already know how delicious and full of fiber Farro is, so no additional comment on that :)
