Emmer, also commonly known as farro, is an ancient type of grain, triticum dicoccum, that is similar but different from wheat. This sustainably sourced variety comes from Cascina Oschiena in Italy, and has a mild, nutty flavor. Similar to light brown rice, it’s used frequently to make risottos, but can also be ground to make pasta and bread. We liked this farro best because it displayed a toothy chewiness expected with farro, while still being tender. Plus we found the flavor more pronounced than other brands. The pearled farro cooks up into large individual grains, with a smooth texture, fluffy without being mushy. Ideal for grain salads, risottos or soups.
