"Untreated phytic acid can combine with calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and especially zinc in the intestinal tract and block their absorption. ...a diet high in unfermented whole grains may lead to serious mineral deficienceies and bone loss."

Only used it once so far to make http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/farro-vegetarian-jambalaya-recipe/index.html We hate okra so I left it out and used about 3 zucchini and added some cajun seasoning. My husband (meat eater) and I (vegetarian) both like it. I'll have to try this recipe for it too. I just found your site and I've already bookmarked about a dozen things I want to try.

And it was labeled wheat berries and not farro, but they are pretty much the same. BTW, the bulk bins are by the baking supplies at Whole Foods.

I like cooking farro in half broth, half water for more flavor. Instead of draining, I just let the liquid reduce till it's more like a farro stew, and then pop in an egg, cover the pot (or stick it in the oven) until the egg's set. In the meantime, I grill some veggies, and then just stick them on top when they're done. http://www.runawaysquirrels.com/2009/07/dinner-farro-with-pesto/ What's weird is that I went to 2 Whole Foods before finding one that carried farro. I thought it was a pretty common grain, but maybe not. I’m a big fan of farro. I like cooking farro in half broth, half water for more flavor.
