Farro Piccolo, also known as einkorn, is one of the earliest cultivated forms of wheat. Valued for its naturally nutty flavor and pleasantly chewy texture, it brings depth and character to a wide range of dishes. Rinse Grains and add to a pot of boiling water; simmer 30 minutes or until tender.
Our Farro Piccolo is semi-pearled, meaning part of the outer bran layer has been removed. This allows for a shorter cooking time while preserving much of the grain’s fiber and nutritional integrity. The result is a tender, hearty grain with a warm, subtly sweet, and earthy profile.
Use it in soups, salads, and grain bowls, or prepare it in the style of risotto for a satisfying alternative to traditional rice. It also stands well on its own as a simple, flavorful side. An ancient grain with enduring appeal, Farro Piccolo offers both substance and versatility in the kitchen.
