Farro is a ancient grain similar to barley that is sold dried, cooked until soft, but still amazingly crunchy. It is hearty and healthy with 7 grams of dietary fiber and 7 grams of protein per serving. Serve topped with meat or veggies. Here is a recipe great for pairing with fried chicken (recipe on blog).
