This Chicken Farro dish is so yum, make sure you make plenty as it goes fast! No, Farro is not paleo and that ok for me. I do not follow any one strict diet, I eat intuitively with real whole food that serves my body well. I believe in eating food that supplies you much nutrients, health and works for you. I choose to eat sprouted farro because; 1. It agrees with me 2. I like it 3. Health benefits are massive, better than quinoa 4. It does contain gluten BUT lower levels than today’s wheat, and if prepared properly, the gluten is pre-digested and broken down by SPROUTING and fermentation like a sourdough process. This makes it much more tolerable with anyone sensitive to gluten. That would be me
and why you see me eating sourdough bread sometimes. Lets get on with it, shall we.
