About Risoni pasta

Risoni pasta, also known as orzo, is a small rice-shaped pasta that originates from Italian cuisine. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina, it is a versatile ingredient commonly used in soups, salads, casseroles, or as a base for warm dishes. Risoni provides a good source of carbohydrates, making it an excellent energy-sustaining option for meals. While it is relatively low in fat and sugar, its nutritional profile largely depends on preparation methods and added ingredients. Whole wheat or whole grain versions of risoni can offer higher fiber content, promoting better digestion. Traditional risoni contains gluten, making it unsuitable for those with gluten intolerance, though gluten-free alternatives are available. Pairing it with fresh vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can enhance its nutritional balance and make it a wholesome option in a well-rounded diet.
