Farro verde is an early-harvest, toasted farro. It is harvested while green and roasted for extra flavor, and has a delicious smoky taste. This green farro makes a great grain bowl, topped with lots of fresh greens and in-season vegetables, all drizzled in a miso and blood orange dressing. —Sharon Hwang
