Notes
Farro should be soaked overnight (or at least for 6 hours).
Rinse 1 cup of farro, place in a bowl. Fill the bowl with 3 cups of lukewarm water, add a pinch of sea salt, cover with a cotton towel, and set to soak overnight. In the morning strain farro through a mesh sieve. Place the sieve over a bowl, cover with a cotton towel, and go about your day.
Your farro is ready when you are.
**Soaking time is not included in overall cooking time (6-12 hours / overnight)
