If youâre cutting down on the amount of animal products or meat you consume, youâll be happy to know that farro can form a complete source of protein when paired with other plant foods like vegetables. This is one reason why people use it similarly to legumes, beans, peas or lentils.
But let me add more. Many food writers are quite insistent that farro is emmer. They may claim that Italian farmers are known to claim farro is emmer. But what an Italian farmer claims don't make it so. It's true that in the common language (of Italian) farro is a word used for emmer.
