Farro Recipes

These 6 farro recipes are perfect for easy meal prep. From farro salad to vegetarian meal prep bowls, you can make a meal that is as delicious as it is healthy!

What is farro?

If you are familiar with what wheat berries are, farro is very similar. It is an ancient grain that comes from several varieties of wheat. Specifically, emmer farro is the most common variety.

While many grains are known to be high in starchy carbohydrates, farro is a bit different in the fact that it is also high in protein and fiber.
People sometimes wonder if farro is better for you than rice and for this reason, the answer is yes. Farro recipes are much better for you than those made using white rice and other starchy grains.

Additionally, farro recipes are incredibly versatile, so they can be made and enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
If you have never prepared it, you can read my post to learn how to cook farro.

Can you eat farro for breakfast?

Farro has a nutty taste and chewy texture that lends itself perfectly to breakfast! It’s warm and comforting, much like a bowl of oatmeal. The primary difference is, oatmeal is gluten-free while farro is not.

One of the easiest farro recipes for breakfast is a bowl of warm, cooked farro with a topping of cinnamon apples or peaches and a splash of cream or half and half.
