One of the first grains discovered, farro is the ancestor of modern wheat. It is said to have sustained the Roman legions as they conquered Europe.

Farro is a cereal grain in which, unlike wheat, the husk adheres to the grain, just as in barley and oats. Its fiber content therefore is high and so are nutrients such as Vitamin E and protein. When combined with legumes, as in many Tuscan recipes, farro forms a complete protein source.

Like various other grains, farro requires overnight (12 hours) soaking before incorporating into your favorite recipe. Whole Grain Farro is excellent in soups and stews or mixed with fresh vegetables to make a cold salad.

Each bag of Rustichella d'Abruzzo Whole Grain Farro weighs approximately 1.1 lb. and is imported from Italy.

The Tracklement Company derives its name from the word “Tracklement” which is believed to have originated in Lincolnshire and used to describe accompaniments to the main part of a meal. Their products have won many awards over the years and today their range includes mustards, relishes, chutneys, sauces, jellies, ketchups, pickles and vinaigrettes.

All of the Tracklement products have a common factor—they are hand made in small batches without artificial colorings or preservatives.

Strong Horseradish & Cream is a Great Taste Awards winner for good reason.

The strength of good English horseradish root may alarm the faint-hearted but we find it ideal with roast beef, hot or cold. You can temper it with creme fraiche or sour cream for a milder sauce to use with smoked trout, or fish pate. It is best kept out of direct sunlight, and should be refrigerated after opening to retain its power.

Each jar of Strong Horseradish & Cream is 5oz. (145g).
