Creamy Orange Cardamom Farro Breakfast Bowl
Creamy Orange Cardamom Farro Breakfast Bowl brings together bright citrus, gentle spice, and the comforting texture of farro in a breakfast that feels both special and grounding. Pearled farro is slowly simmered in a blend of water and fresh orange juice, allowing the grains to absorb subtle sweetness along with fragrant notes of cardamom and cinnamon. Chopped Medjool dates melt into the mixture as it cooks, adding natural sweetness and depth without overpowering the dish.
Once tender, the farro is finished with milk and ground flax, creating a creamy, porridge-like consistency that’s both comforting and substantial. Finished with berries, nuts, seeds, or an extra splash of warm milk, this bowl is endlessly customizable.
Farro is a time-honored whole grain prized for its nutty flavor, pleasantly chewy texture, and naturally satisfying nature—making it an ideal foundation for a hearty, feel-good breakfast. A nutritional powerhouse, it’s full of plant-based protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber making it well suited for slow mornings or make-ahead breakfasts that support steady energy throughout the day.
