Farro is an amazing ancient grain from the wheat family thats high in fiber, protein and trace minerals. It has an awesome taste and is absolutely delicious for any salad base. It’s pretty simple to make, and I sort of feel like it’s a cross between rice and wheat berries (although not gluten-free).

If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend you do because it’s THAT delicious!!
