If you are tired of the usual a.m. oatmeal, it’s time to change it up with a PFC favorite, Coconut Farro Oatmeal!

Though the ancient grain  has been enjoyed for over 2,000 years in Italy, American cooks are just getting started with this hearty grain. Low in gluten and (bonus!) extremely low on the glycemic index scale, Farro is full of minerals, including magnesium, and gives ya your fiber fix with a whopping 8 grams per cup!
Farro can be found at any health food store. If you are in San Diego, we like Jimbos… Naturally! and Wholefoods.
