About Raw orzo
Raw orzo is a versatile pasta shaped like grains of rice, traditionally originating from Italian cuisine. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina, it’s a rich source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy for daily activities. Raw orzo contains protein and some dietary fiber, though it’s generally low compared to whole-grain alternatives. It’s cholesterol-free and low in fat, making it a heart-friendly choice when prepared with wholesome ingredients. However, because it’s typically refined, raw orzo may lack the nutrient density found in whole-grain options. It serves as a neutral base for soups, salads, and casseroles, absorbing flavors from herbs, spices, and broths. Pairing it with nutrient-dense vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can make it a balanced addition to a meal. Whether enjoyed warm or cold, raw orzo offers a satisfying texture that complements a wide range of dishes from Mediterranean to contemporary cuisines.
