Katie from Marx Foods discusses Emmer Berries -- an old world heirloom grain with a full-bodied, nutty flavor.
Transcript:
Historians believe emmer berries were gathered wild for nearly 17,000 years before eventually being cultivated. They are an ancient heirloom grain with a rich, nutty flavor.
Emmer berries are also known as farro and the terms are often used interchangeably. Emmer is high in vitamin E and protein but it has a low gluten content though it's not completely gluten free but it can be a good alternative for people with some wheat allergies.
Our farro berries are grown on a family farm in Washington State and are certified organic. Most farro is sold parboiled and pearled but our farro has only been dehusked which makes it heartier and gives it a nice chew.
Farro makes a great nutty pilaf and it's also great in hot or cold grain salads. You can find a great recipe for a grain salad with pancetta and root vegetables on our blog.
