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.
1 If you are cooking whole farro and it has not been soaked beforehand, allow for up to 3 hours of boiling to make it digestible.  For a chewy texture, allow dry whole farro to cook for 30 minutes. Allow pre-soaked whole farro to cook for 15 minutes and semi-pearled or pearled farro to cook for 20 minutes.
