WHAT IS FARRO?
Farro is an amazing source of protein, fiber and nutrients and it’s so much healthier than rice or processed grains. Addition of warm farro makes it filling, nutritious and just so delicious.
It’s an ancient full of nutrients whole grain that has a nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture.
HOW TO COOK FARRO GRAIN
You can cook farro in the instant pot or on the stove top. Start by rinsing and draining farro grains with cold water on a fine mesh. Use 3 cups water per 1 cup of farro and 1/2 tsp salt.
COOKING FARRO ON THE STOVE TOP
Bring the water to boil, add the grains and salt. Cooking time will depend on the type of farro you’re using. The whole farro, which has the most nutrients or semi pearled will take about 30-40 minutes to cook. Pearled farro that’s found in most grocery stores will take only about 15 minutes to cook.
COOKING FARRO IN INSTANT POT
Whole farro – place farro in instant pot and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes before releasing the pressure. Drain any excess of water.
Semi-pearled & pearled farro – cook for 7 minutes on high pressure, let it sit for 5 in before releasing the pressure.
