Since it's pre-cooked, all you really need to do is rehydrate bulgur. Cooked bulgur stores well — make a big batch and pack a few servings each into individual airtight containers. Refrigerate for 3 to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month.

Secondly, can you freeze Farro after cooking? Batch cook and freeze. Cooked farro keeps in the fridge for 5 days, but you can freeze it for even longer. To freeze it, spread the grains in a single layer on a baking sheet, and transfer it to the freezer for at least 2 hours. After the grains are frozen, you can store them in a freezer-safe container.

Does cooked barley freeze well?

Before cooking, rinse barley to remove any remaining dirt. When ready, barley should have a chewy consistency. Most cooked grains stay fresh for one week in the refrigerator or three months in the freezer, so if you cook barley in bulk, bag and freeze it for later use.
