About Dry orzo
Dry orzo is a type of small, rice-shaped pasta commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, particularly in Italian and Greek dishes. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina, it is rich in carbohydrates, providing a quick source of energy. Some varieties may also be enriched with iron and B vitamins, adding to its nutritional value. Orzo is low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a versatile base for soups, salads, and side dishes. Whole-grain orzo options can offer added fiber and protein, supporting digestive health and enhancing satiety. However, traditional orzo is not gluten-free and may not be suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. While it’s a healthy choice in moderation, portion control is key, as excessive servings can contribute to calorie surplus. Pairing it with nutrient-dense ingredients like vegetables, lean proteins, or legumes helps create balanced and wholesome meals.
