Pick over and put the farro in a fine-mesh colander. Rinse with cold, running water until the water runs clear. Transfer the farro to a medium saucepan and add water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender, adding more water if needed.
Cooking time depends on what kind of farro you are using: whole-grain farro – about 50-60 minutes, semi-pearled farro- about 30-40 minutes, pearled farro – about 20-30 minutes (though there is a 10 minutes version available). Short cooking times are very convenient, but it also means, there is less nutrition in the farro. On the other side, whole-grain farro might be hard to digest, so I stick with the semi-pearled farro.
Drain any water that is left. Store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to five days.
Top with milk of your choice, add a splash of sorghum, honey or maple syrup and also add fruits like banana, berries, apple pieces and sprinkle with some nuts.
