Roland Foods pearled farro is quick cooking, versatile, and delicious. I made a salad with farro, sun dried tomatoes, green onions, feta, olives, and olive oil. Healthy and yummy. I am a big fan of Roland Foods, good quality, great go to pantry items, and hard to find items. I also love their capers, mustards, and vinegars (especially the Bruno red wine vinegar).

I had farro at a gourmet restaurant in Chicago. It was sooooo good, I ordered some. It is different; tasty, chewy, delicious. Highly recommend this.

I heard about farro and have been searching for it in the grocery stores. Unable to find it I resorted to the internet. This product was represented accurately and shipped promptly. I cooked it in chicken broth and then sauteed it with onion and garlic. Very yummy! Only problem I have with the packaging is that it has the recipe for a farro salad but not instructions on how to cook it plain. Use the 2-1 recipe like rice - 2 cups water to 1 cup farro.

In an effort to eat more whole, healthy foods my husband and I have been trying new whole grains. This one is such a winner!! It has an incredibly satisfying chew and cooks quite quickly (20 mins). It is perfect for risotto or as an alternative to rice. Great flavor and texture (and price!), I will order this again.

We heard about this grain while watching a vegetarian cook show. It was not to be found in our area, so we bought it online. It is delicious and healthy and fun to use. I like this product a lot and will buy it again.

This easy to cook farro grain is chewy and delicious - tastes more like pasta than a grain. Some farro requires pre-soaking and a long cooking time. This Roland Farro Semipearled from Italy is easy to cook. I love to cook it (much like one would cook rice) and when its cool, mix it with chopped cucumber, chopped tomatoes, chopped red onions, a tiny bit of olive oil and some balsamic vinegar. Had a farro salad side dish at a popular chain Italian restaurant and just had to try it at home. I found that farro is difficult to find (seems it's only available at local Italian specialty stores right now) but Amazon offered it at a lower price than anyone else online so that was my choice. Some sites interchange farro with barley - they are NOT the same. I don't like cooked grains (barley, etc.) but farro is special. This grain is delicious and super good for you, too.

Farro is a great product, but usually a little hard to find. Amazon is a great source. Try with just a little chicken stock. WOW!

I'd been reading about farro and spelt for some time - couldn't locate it around my area. I'm an adventurous cook and, based on recipes I've seen, decided I would try it. Wow! It's really delicious and easy to prepare. It makes a wonderful risotto. The farro has a wonderful, nutty flavor and robust texture. This product is semi-pearled which makes it easier to prepare - faster cooking. I've almost used up the first bag. I'm planning on using it for a whole grain salad recipe I've found.
I'm so pleased that Amazon's marketplace offers the opportunity to purchase products otherwise unavailable outside large urban areas. Thanks!

Farro, also called emmer, is a grain like wheat. This has a somewhat earthy flavor but not overwhelming. Read more

Excellent
Local stores rarely carry farro, but it's easy to get it via the internet. Roland's product is excellent, reasonably priced, and arrives quickly.

It was very disappointing to have pieces of farro rolling around the shipping box. The packaging for the farro was not sealed properly, allowing farro to fall out. Read more

Roland Farro
When the product arrived, two of the three bags had holes in them, so much farro had spilled out. We have ordered this product once before without such a problem.
