Italian Farro
Filed in archive Ingredient Spotlight on December 15, 2007
Every time I'm in a foreign country I make it a point to go into at least one local grocery store. I love looking at all the different vegetables, drinks, cheeses, meats, crackers, etc. I was in Milan a couple of weeks ago and brought back several little goodies that I cannot find here in France. Farro was one of them.

Farro is an ancient wheat variety that is a traditional ingredient in Italy, mainly in Tuscany and Umbria.
Now begins the recipe search.
