grain bowl

Farro and vegetables

A grain bowl is a meal served in a single bowl, built on a base of cooked grains like rice, quinoa, or farro, topped with vegetables, protein, and sauce.

The format emerged from health-conscious dining culture in the 2010s, emphasizing customizable, nutritious components: I grabbed a grain bowl for lunch.

Also called a Buddha bowl or power bowl.
