What it is
Organic orzo pasta is a small, rice-shaped pasta made from organic durum wheat semolina. It is a type of dried pasta, meaning it is dehydrated for a longer shelf life. Like other pasta, it is typically cooked by boiling in water.
Why it's used
Orzo is often used as a substitute for rice in pilafs, grain salads, and side dishes. Its small size also makes it suitable for soups and pasta salads. Manufacturers use it to add texture and substance to a variety of savory dishes.
Health notes
Orzo pasta is a source of carbohydrates and provides some protein and fiber. The FDA considers pasta made from durum wheat to be safe for consumption. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated pasta ingredients, and EFSA has also reviewed similar products. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Orzo pasta is made from wheat, which is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It also contains gluten. Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
