farro
Ancient wheat variety
Farro is an ancient wheat grain popular in Italian cooking, with a chewy texture and nutty flavor.
It appears in soups, salads, and risotto-style dishes: farro salad with roasted vegetables.
The term loosely covers several wheat species—emmer, spelt, and einkorn—though emmer is most common in American markets.
