Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro: Ancient Whole Grain Wheat
- USDA certified organic — made from organically grown emmer wheat
- Ancient grain variety — emmer wheat, one of the earliest cultivated wheat species
- Nutty, slightly sweet flavor — with a hearty, chewy texture after cooking
- Holds its structure — stays firm rather than turning mushy, good for salads and soups
- Contains gluten — a wheat variety — not suitable for gluten-free diets
- Pack options — Single and Pack of 3 for stocking the pantry
How to Use
Rinse 1 cup of farro, then combine with 2½ to 3 cups of water or broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30-40 minutes until tender but chewy. Soaking overnight cuts the cook time to about 15-20 minutes. Use in grain salads, soups, farrotto, or stuffed squash. Store the dry bag in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry.
About Bob's Red Mill
Since 1978, Bob's Red Mill has stone-milled whole grains at its Milwaukie, Oregon facility, a slower process than conventional steel-roller milling that preserves more of the grain's natural nutrients. The company is employee-owned and has built its name on non-GMO sourcing and clear labeling. Find more natural grocery and pantry staples at Real Prime Deals, or visit bobsredmill.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro contain allergens?
Farro is a variety of wheat, so this product contains gluten and is not appropriate for anyone avoiding wheat or gluten. Read the printed ingredient and allergen panel on the bag for the most current facility and cross-contact information before serving it.
How should I store Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro?
Keep the unopened bag in a cool, dry pantry away from sunlight and moisture. After opening, reseal it tightly or move the farro to an airtight container to keep out humidity and pests. Dry farro stores well for many months this way; check the printed best-by date and inspect for off odors before cooking an older bag.
What is farro and how is it different from quinoa or corn grits?
Farro is an ancient wheat variety with a chewy bite, closer in texture to barley or brown rice than to quinoa or grits. Unlike Organic Tricolor Quinoa, farro contains gluten and is not a complete protein. Compared with corn grits, farro keeps its grain shape after cooking rather than turning creamy, so it suits salads and grain bowls better.
Where is Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro made?
Bob's Red Mill packages and quality-tests this organic farro at its Milwaukie, Oregon facility, where the company has operated since 1978. It is processed and shipped domestically, not imported; check the printed label for any specific growing-region detail on your particular bag before assuming its origin.
