About Orzo
Orzo is a small, rice-shaped pasta that originated in Italy and is commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina, it is high in carbohydrates and contains some protein and fiber. Orzo is a versatile ingredient, often found in soups, salads, or baked dishes, and can be served hot or cold. While traditional orzo is not gluten-free, whole wheat varieties offer additional nutrients such as increased fiber and minerals like iron and magnesium. It’s relatively low in fat but should be consumed in moderation if following a low-carb diet. Orzo is a quick-cooking option that pairs well with a variety of vegetables, lean proteins, and heart-healthy olive oil, making it a nutritious addition to balanced meals. However, be mindful of heavy sauces or cheese-based recipes, which can significantly increase its calorie and fat content.
