About farro — which type to use and why it works in this salad

Farro is an ancient wheat grain with a nutty flavor and a pleasantly chewy texture that holds up well in warm or room‑temperature grain salads. You’ll commonly find three forms:

  • Pearled farro: Some or all of the bran is removed, so it cooks faster and is less chewy.
  • Semi‑pearled farro: Part of the bran remains, giving a bit more chew and slightly longer cooking time than pearled.
  • Whole farro: Least processed and most chewy; it takes the longest to cook and may require soaking.

The ingredient list calls for cooked farro; follow your package directions for cooking. For a grain salad like this, expect the cooked grains to be tender but still slightly chewy so they provide contrast to the shrimp and mango.
