Gluten-free orzo is a versatile, rice-shaped pasta alternative made from gluten-free ingredients such as corn, rice, or quinoa flour, catering to those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Originating from Mediterranean and Italian cuisines, orzo is traditionally used in soups, salads, and side dishes, making this gluten-free version a great substitute for incorporating into classic recipes without compromising flavor or texture. Rich in carbohydrates, it provides a quick energy source, while varieties made from quinoa or brown rice flours also offer dietary fiber and essential nutrients like iron and magnesium. However, like traditional pasta, gluten-free orzo can be calorie-dense, so portion control is key for maintaining balanced nutrition. Its neutral flavor makes it an excellent base for absorbing seasonings, sauces, and fresh ingredients, offering a creative and health-conscious way to enjoy global dishes while meeting dietary needs.
