We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
We must admit when we first received Kitchen & Love Farro Quick Meals and Quinoa Quick Meals, we were a little skeptical. Each is packaged in a two-part 7.9-ounce cup with a detachable spoon. These ready-to-eat, cooked, ancient grain meals need no refrigeration, so they can be packed for an on-the-go meal. They can be eaten at room temperature or heated in the microwave. You simply mix the top flavoring section of the package with the larger grain section and eat. We enjoyed all the varieties, as did our tasters, and were pleasantly surprised how tasty and filling they were. Both varieties can also be used as a side to accompany a meal.
Farro Quick Meals come in three varieties and are certified kosher.
