About Pearled farro

Pearled farro is a form of farro grain whose outer bran layers have been removed by pearling. The dry grains are tan and firm; when cooked, they become tender but retain a pleasantly chewy texture and a mild, nutty, grain-like flavour.

It is commonly cooked in water or stock and used as a grain side, in salads or in soups. “Farro” can refer to different wheat grains, and pearling differs from partial processing or whole-grain forms, so the exact grain and degree of pearling may vary among products.
