Baked Farro with Butternut Squash, Bacon and Brussels Sprouts is a deliciously savory casserole with plenty of healthy whole grains and tons of texture and taste.
I’ve just recently started cooking with farro, and now I wonder how I got along without it. This chewy, nutty grain is much like plump barley, and it’s an excellent form of whole grains and complex carbohydrates. What that means is that once it’s digested, complex carbohydrates break down slowly in your body releasing energy through time, without causing those nasty blood sugar spikes that can zap your energy.
