From what I've read, it's emmer, one of those "ancient grains" that are showing up in ordinary grocery stores lately, instead of just in expensive health food stores, thank goodness. I bought it as an experiment (and because it was on sale) a few months ago, and now I cook up a pot about weekly - it's so handy to have it in the fridge. I've bought two different organic brands, and both were imported from Italy.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-44859631425050310052013-06-22T13:37:48.570-04:002013-06-22T13:37:48.570-04:00Yes I was just wondering what is farro, according ...Yes I was just wondering what is farro, according to Google pearl barley is similar. I eat it a lot, nothing like a wonderful veggie stew with pearl barley and herbs. Our summer weather is very disappointing, just 14'C so I am happily making soups and stews :-)Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-39877628966817380002013-06-22T11:48:54.981-04:002013-06-22T11:48:54.981-04:00What you call farro I call pearl barley :) Or are...What you call farro I call pearl barley :) Or are they different - they look the same...?<br /><br />I also like them with a bit of chewiness LOL And seasame ginger dressing sounds divine - your recipe or store bought?Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.com
