All natural. Some say farro is the original ancestor of all other wheat species - "the mother of all wheat". In ancient Rome, farro was a staple food that provided the main source of nourishment for the roman legions, and it was even used as a form of currency. Today this old world heirloom grain is still highly regarded in Italy, where it has been grown for generations by Tuscan farmers and is featured in many traditional dishes. Use farro in stews, casseroles and salads. Dear friends, there's a saying, "what once was old is new again". This expression certainly applies to our traditional stone grinding mills, which are much like the ones used in early roman times. It's also true about many of our favorite whole grains, which originated in ancient times. Amaranth, chia seed, farro, Kamut® grain, millet, quinoa, sorghum, spelt and teff-they may be lesser-known than familiar grains like wheat and barley, but each one has a story to tell, with histories going back thousands of years and rich cultural traditions from around the globe. Lucky for us, these whole grains aren't just ancient history; they're also tasty, nutritious additions to modern meals. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein, these "super grains" of the ancient world are wonderfully healthy, and their unique flavors and textures will add a delicious twist to your favorite recipes. They're versatile, too-great for snacks, salads, side dishes, entrees and baked goods.
