I’ve heard of it, but never tried it. Would it make a good side dish instead of rice?

Thank you for the tip. This is the 1st I’ve heard of Farro. I’ve researched and read a lot on Quinoa. I am definitely going to give this a try.
Being on Weight Watchers I’m always looking for new tips and ideas. I came across your blog in the new issue of FIRST.

I love that stuff.
I first had it from Wegmans prepared foods.
which was so good. Now that I can’t eat mushrooms I brought it so i can fix.
Really good stuff.

My local food co-op makes an awesome mushroom farro soup. They made a vegetable farro stir fry, but I haven’t tried that yet.

My family loves farro! I have made Giada’s Farro Salad with Tomatoes and Herbs countless times – it is delicious and makes fabulous leftovers!

I had bought a big bag from Costco and loved it! Finished that up and went to get more and they no longer sold it. Just found it again at my local grocery store though!

I’ve only heard it from Giada on Food Network. It’s not that I know her well enough to use only her first name but I’m not sure how to spell her last name. She has used it in salads if I remember correctly.

I love farro, too. I use it mainly for cold salads….I make a really yummy one with peaches, red pepper, spinach, etc. It is so good! Here’s the recipe:

She uses wheat berries, and I just tend to like the farro a lot better than the wheat berries. It’s a great summer salad, very refreshing.

Yes have eaten it at John Besh’s restaurant in New Orleans. It was tossed with small summer vegetables.

Yep, I use it a lot, but I have an advantage as I live in Italy. We use it a lot in fresh (cold) summer salads – tossed with olive oil and basil leaves plus some other vegetables (like tomatoes, small-cubed zucchine, etc.). Love farro!

I just bought farro about 3 weeks ago. It’s still sitting in my pantry because I’m not sure how I want to use it. I’m going to cook it in my rice cooker which is how I’ve been doing quinoa and brown rice lately. I’ve been adding quinoa or brown rice to taco meat (made from ground turkey) and my kids and dude like it very much. Looking forward to your salad recipe!
