In ancient Rome, farro was a staple food that provided the main source of nourishment for the Roman legions. It was so coveted that it was even used as a form of currency. While that might not still hold true today, it does remain one of the healthiest of the wheat species. Farro is commonly used in traditional dishes, stews, casseroles and salads. Bob's Red Mill Farro is USDA organic.
