Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 According to Dictionary.com, Spelt is a native wheat of Europe and Western Asia that is used to feed livestock. I have no idea how it is used or if it is slang in another country for wheat. I could find nothing on 'grain farro' .

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Farro is a very ancient grain, used in Italian cooking, mostly. I have seen it in my grocery store, but haven't tried it yet. Here's some info: http://italianfood.about.com/library/rec/blr0002.htm It's sometimes called " Grano Farro " in Italian which was probably translated to " Grain Farro " . I have spelt in my cupboard. If you go to the Bob's Red Mill site (that I mentioned yesterday) they have quite a few Spelt recipes. Since it is related to wheat, it behaves a lot like wheat. Some people with wheat sensitivities find it more tolerable, people with celiac disease can't eat it. -s- genny_y2k wrote: > According to Dictionary.com, Spelt is a native wheat of Europe and > Western Asia that is used to feed livestock. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
