Whole Wheat Orzo

Whole Wheat Orzo

EverydayDry

Whole wheat orzo is a nutrient-dense pasta variety shaped into small, rice-like grains, crafted from 100% whole wheat flour to retain the bran and germ. This hearty alternative to traditional orzo offers significantly higher fiber and protein content, along with complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. Its nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture work well in salads, soups, and pilafs, though it contains gluten and requires longer cooking times than refined pasta versions.
