About Orzo pasta
Orzo pasta, a versatile rice-shaped pasta, originates from Italian cuisine and is a staple in Mediterranean diets. Traditionally made from durum wheat semolina, it provides a good source of carbohydrates and a moderate amount of protein. Orzo is commonly used in soups, salads, casseroles, or as a side dish, absorbing flavors effortlessly. While plain orzo is low in fat, its nutritional profile varies depending on how it’s prepared; dishes with added oils, cheeses, or creams may increase calorie and fat content. Whole wheat orzo offers a healthier alternative, boasting higher fiber and nutrient levels that support digestive health. Although orzo is not gluten-free, gluten-free versions made from alternative flours are available for individuals with dietary restrictions. Its compact shape and quick cooking time make orzo a beloved choice in both home kitchens and gourmet recipes worldwide.
