Dietitian Pick of the Month: FARRO

Date: 1/1/2015 - 1/31/2015
Time:  12:00 AM - 11:00 PM
Type: Health & Wellness
Location: HealthMarket

Mostly known to be a staple in the ancient Roman diet (and still very popular in Italy!), this hearty grain can be used as a substitute in for any recipe that calls for brown rice or wheat berries. Farro is also extremely nutritious and the Hy-Vee dietitian’s pick of the month for January. One cup contains 8 grams of cholesterol-lowering fiber and 7 grams of muscle-building protein, and is also a good source of iron.
