April 30, 2015 · by gennavee ·

Farro is a delicious, hearty grain with sort of a nutty taste. When I told my husband we were having Farro salad for dinner, he raised any eyebrow since he’d never heard of Farro. Then I told him that Farro has about 10 grams of protein per serving and he was all in.
