Traditionally, Tabbouleh is made with cracked wheat or bulgur. This recipe uses farro to show how easy it is to use underutilized ingredients by swapping them into existing recipes. Farro is a great source of fiber and protein. When buying Farro you want to look for whole grain farro. Pearled farro has the outer layer of bran removed which means it’s going to contain less fiber and nutrients.
