How to measure farro (uncooked) accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh farro (uncooked) on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of farro (uncooked) weighs about 180 grams (6.35 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts farro (uncooked) and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Check whether your farro is whole, semi-pearled or pearled; whole farro benefits from soaking and cooks much longer than the quicker pearled kind.
