About Orzo perlato
Orzo Perlato, also known as pearl barley, is a versatile whole grain native to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Its appealing chewy texture and mild, nutty flavor make it a popular ingredient in soups, salads, and risottos. Unlike hulled barley, Orzo Perlato undergoes polishing to remove the outer layer, which slightly reduces its fiber content but enhances its cooking efficiency. Rich in essential nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, it is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates and plant-based protein. Its high fiber content supports digestive health, while its low glycemic index helps manage blood sugar levels. However, because it contains gluten, it is unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. A nutritious and hearty choice, Orzo Perlato can easily complement a balanced diet, providing sustained energy and promoting overall well-being.
