Bluebird Grain Farms Organic Emmer Farro Whole Grain — 5 lb Bag, USDA Organic, Non-GMO

Bluebird Grain Farms Organic Whole Grain Emmer Farro is a 5 lb bag of USDA Organic, non‑GMO ancient wheat that delivers a nutty flavor, chewy texture, and versatile whole‑grain option for cooking and baking.

Harvested and processed on Bluebird Grain Farms in the Pacific Northwest, this emmer (one of the original founder crops of agriculture) is cleaned, sun‑cured, and hulled in small batches to maintain freshness. The whole‑grain kernels preserve naturally occurring proteins, minerals, and fiber, making emmer a flavorful alternative to modern wheat, rice, or pasta in everyday recipes.

How does Bluebird emmer taste and feel when cooked?

Emmer offers a pronounced nutty, slightly sweet flavor with an al dente chew that holds up well in simmered dishes. Unlike grains that turn mushy, Bluebird emmer keeps distinct kernels and a pleasantly firm bite.

• Robust nutty aroma and taste that complements vegetables and roasted meats
• Firm, chewy texture retained after 20–40 minutes of simmering
• Good absorption for broths and sauces without becoming pasty
• Works well in grain salads, risottos, soups, and pilafs
