Farro, an ancient whole grain, is an excellent source of animal based protein with barely a trace of gluten. It has a nutty flavor and is enjoyed in soups, salads and stews.
At Ellwood Thompson’s, we offer Farro, “uncooked” in our bulk section and our kitchen prepares a variety of vegan dishes with this ingredient too.
Did you know mushrooms are about 90% water? They are also well known as “meat” in the vegetarian and vegan worlds, as they are a great source of protein.
