Roland Foods Pearled Italian Farro, Specialty Imported Food, 47.9 Ounce Bag, Pack of 1

I have purchased this farro brand several times now. The quality and taste is exceptional, and the price point beats the brands sold in my local grocery stores. I prefer farro over brown rice because of the hearty texture, and this does not disappoint.

This is a very tasty addition to rices, quinoa, as a bed for veggies or stir fry, or to add in soups and other recipes.

Tasty product. Cooks perfectly using the instructions on the bag.

At long last, I have found the grain that truly understands me. Roland Foods Italian Farro isn’t just a food—it’s a lifestyle. While quinoa continues to pander to the masses, and rice remains a mere sidekick to actual meals, farro stands alone in all its nutty, chewy, ancient glory. This is the grain of emperors, gladiators, and, presumably, the kind of people who own artisanal olive oil dispensers.The moment you open the bag, you can feel the history. Is that the scent of a Tuscan hillside? Perhaps. Is it actually just whole grain wheat? Also perhaps. But who am I to question destiny?Cooking farro is a meditative experience. You have to soak it (or not, depending on how reckless you are), simmer it, and then lovingly fluff it like you’re raising it to be the heir to your culinary empire. The result? A perfectly tender, slightly al dente grain that makes you question why you ever settled for bland alternatives.Farro makes you feel like a better person. Toss it into a salad, and suddenly you’re a health-conscious icon. Add it to soup, and you’re a rustic, old-world chef. Serve it with roasted vegetables, and you’re basically a James Beard nominee.Yes, it’s a bit pricey. But can you really put a price on achieving your full gastronomic potential? I think not.Roland Foods Italian Farro: Because regular grains are for peasants.

This product has the texture of barley with the versatility of rice, but superior in nutrition. I use it instead of rice which I no longer purchase as farro has more benefits for health and I prefer its texture and flavor.

Great product. Delicious flavor and perfect texture. But I highly recommend ordering it to be delivered by itself. When I've purchased just this item, it arrived in a perfectly sized small box and in excellent condition. When I bought it with other items, everything came together in one large box, causing the bag to break open and much of the product to spill out.

Great product. Great price point! Easy prep!

I love farro. This particular brand is great — made a batch with basmati and mixed with peanut oil, salt and pepper. Yum. Also goes well as a substitute for rice with Asian dishes.
