 Great Source Found for Farro at AmazonApr 22, 2010
By Giuditta
Loving everything Italian, I started cooking with farro when I first saw it, but my local, reasonably-priced imported supply was undependable or way too expensive when they got in a different brand. When I went on-line to find a good, well-priced source, this product was the answer to my search. The price to buy two 3-lb bags of Roland Farro plus the shipping was very much in line with the reasonable price I had been paying locally. The grain is absolutely delightful and of the highest quality. I just made one of my favorite Italian recipes,a soup,using this brand of farro and it is delizioso! I'm so happy to be able to count on getting this regularly, delivered speedily to my door and am looking forward to summer farro salads and exploring other recipes using this beautiful, healthful product.

 Definitely worth a try...Feb 03, 2011
By Nancy Mitchell
I had been reading about Farro for a while and was very curious to try it. I purchased the 3 pound bag because it was a great price.
The first thing I did was make a Farro Mac and Cheese that was featured in Rachael Ray's magazine. My husband went insane, he loved it so much. Its a very hearty grain, but is also very creamy....almost like barley....making it a great addition for soups, salads and casseroles. I froze the leftovers and they held up very, very well.
My only complaint was in the packaging...there wasn't instructions on how to prepare it. Just a specific recipe using Farro as an ingredient. However, I looked it up online and was able to find a lot of basic preparation recipes.
It seems like whenever I read about a new ingredient and can't find it at any of my local grocery stores, I can always find it at Amazon.
I will definitely purchase this again!

Great grainSep 09, 2009

"Gotta Eat, Gotta Cook"
Easy and fast to cook up, nice substitute for brown rice, barley, bulgar, etc...mild tasting and high fiber. Good hot as a side dish/pilaf, or used room temp/cold in summer salads. Has 3 grams of fiber per 1/4 cup dry.

Heathy and tastyOct 31, 2010
By Ellen A. Kellen
This is a wonderful grain to add to your diet. It is chewy and has more protein than most grains. It's a good substitute for orzo, rice, etc. in salads and good alone or in hot dishes.

Hard to find tasty, healthy grainApr 06, 2010
By Genie
We have enjoyed this grain in very limited quantities for years finding it only in one Italian specialty store where it is quite expensive. This larger quantity is more reasonably priced and it stores well in a glass jar. I prepare it occasionally using the recipe on the back of the original bag but increasing the ground meat to one pound to serve more people. Farro has a wonderful flavor prepared this way or just simmered in chicken broth. It is good served along side a meat or grilled Italian sausages or as an accompaniment to grilled veggies for a vegetarian meal.
