A wild variety of wheat, also called Farro Monococcum or N. Cornweed in Italian, is said to be the world's oldest grain and is still eaten in some areas.
Cooked faro tastes like barley and it looks like barley but because of its hardness it is not easy to chew and it is like burnt sugar.
There are various types of pharaohs available, but pharao monococcus is the oldest, and it was found in Mesopotamia 10,000 years ago, when it was used by the ancient Egyptian and Roman armies.
Because it was not very expensive, the poor of the Roman Empire also used it and made a variety of food.
According to dieticians, it is rich in nutrients and is rich in fiber, magnesium, vitamins A, B, C and E.
It grows easily even in barren and mountainous environments and has never been cultivated with chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
According to experts, just one cup of Faro contains 20% fiber which is equal to our physical needs.
