Orzo
Orzo is a rice-shaped pasta traditionally made from durum wheat semolina, offering the texture of pasta with the visual appeal of grains. Though often mistaken for rice, this Italian staple contains gluten and provides a carbohydrate-rich base with moderate protein content typical of wheat products. Its versatile shape allows it to absorb flavors well in soups, salads, and pilafs, while cooking methods mirror those of both pasta (boiled) and rice (simmered).
