InHarvest Organic Pearled Farro
What it is
This is organic pearled farro, a grain that has been hulled and polished to remove the bran and germ. This processing makes it cook faster and results in a tender texture compared to whole farro. It is a versatile grain that can be used in a variety of dishes, offering a slightly nutty flavor and a satisfying chew. The pearling process also makes it easier to digest for some people.
How people cook with it
Pearled farro is a wonderful addition to both hot and cold dishes. Its texture holds up well to cooking, making it suitable for a wide range of culinary applications.
- Salads
- Soups
- Side dishes
- Grain bowls
To prepare pearled farro, rinse it under cold water. Combine one part farro with three parts liquid, such as water or broth, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender and the liquid is absorbed. You can also cook it in a rice cooker or Instant Pot. Once cooked, fluff with a fork. It can be served warm as a side or cooled and added to salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Pearled farro cooks more quickly than whole farro because the outer layers of the grain have been removed. This also results in a softer, chewier texture. Whole farro retains more of its bran and germ, requiring a longer cooking time and offering a firmer bite.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a wholesome and adaptable grain will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining cooked farro in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Uncooked pearled farro should be kept in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or transferred to a sealed container to maintain freshness.
