The first time I had farro was in NY, a little over six years ago. I didn’t even know it existed before then. I was I NYC and I had a fried farro arugula salad and it was pretty much the best thing I had ever tasted. If you have never tried farro, it’s a delicious and nutritious grain. It’s an excellent source of protein, fiber and nutrients like magnesium, zinc and some B vitamins. It’s also a much healthier alternative to other refined grains. You can boil it just like pasta and add it to a salad or soup or eat it plain. This time I added mozzarella, tomatoes, prosciutto, and fresh herbs.
