Tip #2

Farro is a type of ancient wheat grain (it's been around since Roman times thousands of years ago) that's typically used in soups, side dishes and salads. It has a delicious nutty flavor and a slightly crunchy bite after cooking. 

Tip #3

Freekah is another new entry to the whole grain game. Freekah is the process of harvesting wheat (specifically durum wheat) while the grains are still green. It's roasted and rubbed to create small, deliciously toasty grains that are chewy and slightly firm once cooked - similar to bulgur.
