Citrusy Farro with Pistachios

By miss5elements

Often relegated to lunch or dinner, these nutty, chewy kernels deserve a spot in your morning rotation. With some brands, a single serving (1/4cup) delivers up to 7 grams of fiber - nearly twice the amount in oats. Though farro is commonly sold semi-pearled, which means part of the grain's outer coating has been removed to speed cooking, some lightly processed varieties still retain their high fiber content.
Jackie Newgent, nutritionist and author of Big Green Cookbook, suggests this recipe:

Ingredients

• 1.5 c farro
• 1.75 c water
• 1.5 c orange juice
• 1/4 c raisins
• 3/4 t salt
• 1/4 c roasted pistachios
• Orange zest
