Providing 47 grams of whole grain per serving, SHILOH FARMS Heirloom Emmer Farro Grain is an excellent source of fiber, Vitamin B, manganese, zinc, iron, and protein. It has less gluten than modern hybridized forms of wheat, meaning it may be more easily digested by those who suffer from minor wheat sensitivity, and has the lowest glycemic index of all cereal grains.

Exceptionally versatile, emmer farro adds a sweet nuttiness and plump chewiness to dishes. It's robust texture makes it especially well-suited for use in soups, stews, and salads.

One of the earliest domesticated cereal grains, emmer farro is an heirloom variety of wheat that was once a staple of ancient Roman diets. Though largely overlooked these days in favor of higher-yielding and more easily hulled durum wheat, emmer farro is still widely consumed in Ethiopia and the Central Mediterranean region, where it is prized for its flavor and nutritional value.  

What are Heirloom Grains? Prized for their rich, distinctive flavors and unique nutritional benefits, heirloom grains are true grains that have not been genetically modified, but rather grown as nature intended. Known as a dietary staple for thousands of years, our ancestors once relied upon these ancient grain varieties to provide nourishment and sustenance. SHILOH FARMS brings these versatile, nutrient-rich, and hearty grains into the 21st Century - the perfect addition to a healthy, wholesome lifestyle!
