Frequently Asked Questions
What is farro and how does it taste?
Farro is an ancient whole grain from the wheat family, cultivated for thousands of years in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor with a hearty, chewy texture similar to barley. It holds its structure well after cooking, making it ideal for grain salads, soups, risotto-style dishes, and grain bowls.
How do I cook Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro?
For stovetop farro, rinse 1 cup of farro and combine with 2½ to 3 cups of water or broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30–40 minutes until tender but still chewy. For a quicker result, soak farro overnight and reduce cooking time to 15–20 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and season as desired.
Does Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro contain gluten?
Yes, Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro contains gluten. Farro is a type of wheat (emmer wheat), so it is not appropriate for anyone with celiac disease, wheat allergy, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It is not a gluten-free product.
Is farro more nutritious than white rice or pasta?
Farro is a whole grain that retains its bran and germ, making it significantly higher in fiber, protein, and micronutrients than refined white rice or white pasta. Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro provides complex carbohydrates, plant-based protein, and minerals like magnesium and zinc per serving — a nutritional step up from refined grains.
I eat keto and low carb but not everyone around me does. So I make cauliflower rice for myself and farro for them. To make the farro a little more low carb for them, I often mix the two together and it's delicious! Gives the cauliflower rice a nice fluffy texture and nutty taste. So much better than regular rice. For a quick snack, just top with some butter. YUM!Bob's Red Mill farro is delicious. This is pearled farro (so doesn't take as long to cook). I followed the instructions on the back of the package and it came out perfect!
Great whole grain farro, not pearled. Takes longer to cook than pearled farro, so plan accordingly, it’s worth the extra time and effort.
I love a hot breakfast cereal with farro. After cooking add anything you like: seeds, nuts, berries, the sky's the limit. Farro has a great crunchy taste
Good stuff, just as expected
Wonderful product and they packed nicely in a box
I have been using this brand and product since I first tried it and although the price has doubled (amp long with everything else) over the years I am very satisfied. I cannot find it locally any longer and will continue to use it as long as it is available. The texture is great and the product is very clean and fresh. I am always satisfied with Bob's Red Mill and now only hoping they will bring back critical flour and hills less barley!
I like this Farro Grain because it's not pre-flavored with anything like cheese sauce or spices. I can cook and season it just the way I want. It has excellent flavor, cooks fast in 10 minutes, and is very nutritious. Use it like rice, add what you want to it. This is fast becoming a favorite side-dish for us! Happy with the quality and the price!
Excellent grainy taste. Easy to prepare. His Oatmeal is worth purchasing as well
Great taste, clean with no debris
We love it.!!Try!!
Nice to have an organic option for Farro. The overnight soak works the best and then cooking in a chicken stock. I let it cool in the fridge and then freeze in smaller containers.
The taste of these is immeasurable be better than whole wheat kernels (AKA wheatberries). You sure to rinse them well, and/or cook in plenty of water and skim the white stuff off the top. Great with a little milk and just a dab of maple syrup stirred into the mix.
Well packed, as described, grain was fresh,
Faro is an interesting alternative to rice, couscous, oats, and barley as a cooking grain.A slightly nutty taste, which I find pleasant. Use in place of (almost) any grain; its cooking requirements are different, so a little experimentation may help.If you find a local supplier, buy there. I now buy it at Lazy Acres near my house, instead of ordering by mail.
amazing, delicious and very healthy!

Purchased one box of 4* 1lb. Great clean quality organic grain. Sturdy packing. Will purchase again.
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
Really tasty and easy to cook in the instant pot.
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 :)
Great product for the money!
Very clean no need to sift. I put in my soup every week and it softens up nicely and lends a little texture to it. Great value high in protein.
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.
Bobs Red Mill Farro is true to its name, very good. Very happy with purchase. No complaints.
This boy knows how to make whatever this is.
