Farro is a resilient crop that thrives in poor soil and is resistant to a variety of farming diseases.Farro is popular because of its high fiber content, as well as the nutrients it contains, such as vitamin B3 and zinc. It's also been used to create beer and mashed into bread and spaghetti. Farro is also one of the five grains mentioned in ancient rabbinic literature for preparing Passover matzah. It is referred to as'spelt' in certain sources, although the term currently refers to a completely different type of wheat.
