About Risoni
Risoni, also known as orzo, is a versatile pasta shaped like grains of rice, originating from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Italian. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina, it provides a good source of carbohydrates, which serve as a primary energy fuel for the body. Risoni is low in fat and contains small amounts of protein, making it a lighter option in comparison to other pasta shapes. It can be enriched with added vitamins and minerals, depending on the brand. While generally not considered a whole-grain food, higher-fiber varieties are available and offer better nutritional benefits, including improved digestion and satiety. Risoni is often used in soups, salads, or as a base for hearty dishes, pairing well with vegetables and lean proteins. As with most pasta, moderation is key, especially for individuals managing their calorie or carb intake.
