Bartolini Spelt/Farro

Add To Comparison

Farro Pelato is a wheat grain, actually a kernel that resembles barley produced in the heart of Umbria. Like the other grains in the wheat family, Spelt and Kamut, Farro is botanically closer to ancient varieties of grains. Farro is the first known grain in history, loved and appreciated – partly through force of circumstance, since at times it was the only food available - by the ancient Etruscans, Egyptians and Romans. It is a cereal with an abundance of vitamins and minerals,and a higher quantity of proteins than other cereals, but lacking in fats.  It can reduce the appetite and also thanks to its high amount of fibre, it is often recommended in diets.

Farro is pleasantly chewy with a distinct sweet wheat taste. Toast it in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until it emits a toasty aroma, about 3 minutes, then bring to the boil in salted water. Cover and simmer over low heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Farro perlato can be added to soups and salads, or prepared following risotto recipes. It can be used on its own as a first course or side dish sauteed with extra virgin olive oil and tossed with Parmigiano Reggiano.
