An ancestor of durum wheat, emmer was among the first cereals cultivated in the Fertile Crescent. It has a deliciously nutty flavour and can be eaten as a whole grain (known in Italy as farro medio) or ground into flour.
The grains make a great alternative to rice, as a side or to make farrotto in place of risotto. They can be milled at home (we recommend using a Mockmill) for flour that makes superb bread and pasta.
Two other grains are occasionally used for farro and emmer or farro medio sits between smaller einkorn (farro piccolo) and larger spelt (farro grande).
Our emmer is grown by Jeremy Dickin in Lincolnshire.
Add cooked emmer - or if cooking time allows, dry grains - to stews and casseroles.
Add cooked or toasted grains to salads.
Mill uncooked emmer grains to produce a tasty and versatile flour.
Rinse, bring to the boil then simmer until tender (about 25 to 30 minutes). Speed up cooking by pre-soaking for a few hours.

I love farro and haven't been able to find it in any local shops so I'm delighted to have found an online source. I've ordered it a couple of times so far and it's worked really well in all the recipes I've tried, so I'll definitely keep ordering it. Thanks, Hodmedod's!
This emmer is absolutely delicious, and everyone we've served it to has loved it. We simmer it and combine it with sauteed (in olive oil) diced onion and garlic, chopped parsley, and toasted pistachios. It's good hot or room temperature and the leftovers are equally good. Everyone likes it so much that we keep giving away our bags of emmer to them, so it was great to stock up at the recent pop-up event.
I do have difficulty getting hold some grains in United Kingdom I glad you don’t use plastic bags like a lot of companies do they say that it is recycling but the council still won’t take them because they can’t read
It's nice and fresh perfect for what I need
Looks good, I’ve not tried it yet.

An amazing recipe book that highlights ancient beans and grains from the UK that can be used to make delicious food. The beautiful illustrations and design are a bonus!
What a beautiful, brilliant book of delicious recipes, from classics with a twist, to creatively playful culinary experiments, healthy eating has rarely felt so exciting and satisfying. Suffused throughout with the deep love of land and produce, earthy food culture and the most precious of convivialities the communing of dining together. The book is already a favourite in our household and will no doubt end up as one of those cookery books affectionately well thumbed and adorned with flamboyant spatterings of ingredients!
I pre ordered so got my copy early, bought as a Christmas present for my daughter. It really is a delight to read and look through, so much so to de-risk making the present one look “thumb’d” I’m ordering a second for ourselves. The recipe in this pic comes highly recommended.
A book full of wholesome, locally sourced food. Good for you and good for the environment. Hodmedod's quality of produce and quality of spirit is what Britain is about and this incredible book will be well placed on any home cooking shelf and a welcomed gift to friends and family. Well done guys!
Another excellent Hodmedods lentil supporting British Farming. So tasty, great to use in curry amongst a host of other dishes.
