farro & parsnip patties


Farro? Well, wikipedia says,
There is much confusion or disagreement about what exactly farro is. Some claim it is emmer, others, spelt, and still others think it is its own species. Farro is an Italian term borrowed with this food product into English, and there are three species of hulled wheat grown in Italy and eaten as farro: einkorn, emmer, and spelt. Regional differences in what is locally grown and eaten as farro, as well as similarities between the three grains may explain the confusion. Barley and farro may be used interchangeably because of their similar characteristics. Spelt is much more commonly grown in Germany and Switzerland, and, though called dinkel there, is eaten and used in much the same way, and might therefore be considered farro. Common wheat may also be prepared and eaten much like farro, in which form it is often referred to as wheatberries.
We'll likely answer, Spelt.
