About Cooked orzo
Cooked orzo is a small, rice-shaped pasta commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Made primarily from semolina flour, it is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in soups, salads, casseroles, or as a standalone side dish. Though orzo is a type of pasta, its resemblance to rice makes it a popular substitute in recipes calling for grains. Nutritionally, cooked orzo is a source of carbohydrates, providing energy for the body, but it is relatively low in fiber and protein compared to whole grain alternatives. It often contains moderate levels of sodium depending on preparation, especially if cooked in salted water or paired with rich sauces. For a healthier version, whole-wheat orzo offers higher fiber content and added nutrients. Delicious and easy to prepare, orzo works well with vegetables, lean proteins, and herbs, making it a flexible addition to balanced meals.
