Here’s my lame excuse, and I’m sticking to it.
I have limited to no experience really with anything that might be considered other that a commonly used grain, or what I thought was a grain, as in couscous.
All three items were bought in bulk at the same time and stored in jars. I had labeled the couscous jar, and know I bought quinoa, but I hadn’t yet labeled the other two jars.
In the OP, I wasn’t claiming that was pearl farro, I was trying identify it based on my dim memory of what sounded the most familiar, not to mention it has a a bit of, for a lack of better terms, a pearl-like glassy/glossy quality.
I never intended to buy rice, but I can’t argue that it certainly looks like the Calrose rice. I do know I’ve never heard of Calrose. Jasmine rice is in my lexicon, but I can’t exactly tell from your image if it has that pearl thing going on.
I don’t know how significant the following may be, but the grains are oval-ish and flat. To give perspective, those are tweezers, not pliers.
