Comments on: Where Art Thou, Farro? http://www.caviarandcodfish.com/2007/09/where-art-thou-farro/ ...a kitchen diary Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:06:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Megan http://www.caviarandcodfish.com/2007/09/where-art-thou-farro/#comment-388 Megan Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:23:08 +0000 http://clumsycook.com/2007/09/12/where-art-thou-farro/#comment-388 Whole Foods does carry farro - I found it on accident one day! After looking for it for months, I found it in small bags on the bottom shelf under all the whole grain pasta. It costs $3.59 for a little over 2 cups worth (in New Orleans). It is Farro Perlato (semi-pearled) but it's better than nothing. And I have tried Heather Swanson's recipe you mentioned AND her roasted butternut squash one too - they are both delicious. Since finding it there, I have checked other Whole foods I visited and found it in all of them - I just had to know what/where to look. Goodness knows that the sales people had no idea what I was asking for...Good luck. Whole Foods does carry farro – I found it on accident one day!

Anyhow, I just ordered 4 .5 kilo packets of organic farro from igourmet.com, and having looked around, feel the price was decent (ca. $6 per .5 k, I think), shipping not terrible, and even found a discount code somewhere for 12% off, which made shipping around $3. I haven't seen it anywhere in progressive Minneapolis-St. Paul, by the way, which is why I finally went online. I know I'll likely see it this week on a pilgrimage to Bill's Imported Foods in Mpls, but had given up when I coldn't find it in any of the co-ops, fancy markets or Whole Foods. So try igourmet. And then try making Farrotto, like risotto, but obviously w farro. A super change form white rice!

Any time I read these entries about the "lesser" grains I keep thinking of all the scenes where peasants whine that they have to eat millet. Now we have foodies actively seeking it out!
