Here's an Italian lessson for you all:
farro=spelt

I had NO idea. I've eaten farro pasta before. Hubby came home last night with a box of pasta he got in North Beach. The brand is called 'Sgambaro". On the back of the package, it says:

"Spelt is one of the oldest cereals cultivated in Europe. For the Greeks and Romans, it was the main ingredient in 'Puls', a soup of boiled cereals. It was so popular that 'farina', the Italian for flour, derives from 'Farro', the Italian word for Spelt."

This brand costs $5.75 for 17.6 oz. I'll let you know how it tastes.
