Farro is a grain of a certain wheat species in whole form but the exact definition is still debated by experts. Despite that, it is a fantastic ingredient to use. The most common uses are in America and Europe where it is cooked in a water and then either eaten as is, or mixed with other food products, i.e. poultry, vegetables, etc.

I suggest using the ingredients below in a way that you feel comfortable. The process is the same way you would prepare risotto and simply add the ingredients as you go along. This recipe takes time but in the end it is delicious.
