Organic Einkorn Berries (Farro Piccolo) (2.5 Pounds)

Q: Is this the type of farro that can be cooked and eaten like oats?

Hi Janet - I haven't used it like oatmeal but I cook it and use in salads. I simmer it in salted water 40-45 minutes, drain and rinse and its ready to go. This is *not* the semi-pearled variety most commonly seen in the US. The pearling process wears off some of the nutritious bran layer so it cooks a little faster. This wheat is not pearled, so it retains all its nutrition. A bit of extra cooking time seems a small price to pay for whole, nutritious, not to mention yummy, grain. Try searching on "einkorn porridge". I found a recipe that said to pulse the grains in a blender prior to cooking. This cuts the cooking time in half and may be what you're looking for.

Q: Is there a trick to picking out the stones from the berries?

To separate stones from any product, mostly found in dried beans, I use a bright white plastic tray with sides of 2 inches or so high. Dribble your beans or grains into the tray with the tray slightly tilted to allow the grains to run downhill. The darker color of a stone will show up against the white background. My tray is 6X10 inches, 2 inches high. It came with a small kitchen scale, so it serves a dual purpose now. I sort 1/2 to 1 cup at a time, then empty it and sort more if needed.
