Farro is a whole grain, much like other whole grains such as barley, quinoa and wheat berries. While farro is actually a specific type of common wheat, a few different varieties of wheat are sometimes called farro. Each of these different types of farro, however, is a kind of wheat, so while farro is a whole grain, it is, never gluten-free. Farro looks quite a bit like a more oblong and larger barley grain and has a similar taste and texture. Like barley, farro is still a bit chewy when cooked, rather than soft and mushy.
