    Farro (Triticum dicoccum)

                       The original strain of durum wheat. More information can be found at www.farro.ca

    Hulled Emmer

    Called decorticato in italian, this is the whole grain in it's purest form with all the outer bran intact. Hulled grains typically need to be pre-soaked in water before cooking.

    8-12 hours is more than sufficient for most applications with a 20-30 minute cooking time.
