What is Orzo?
Orzo is a rice-shaped pasta that is originally from the Mediterranean but features prominently in many cuisines around the world. Derived from the Italian word for ‘barley’, orzo is also known as risoni in Italy and kritharaki in Greece. Its texture is similar to that of pasta, but due to its size and shape many confuse it with rice. If you’re looking for an orzo that stands out from the pack, try cooking with RiceSelectⓇ Tri-Color Orzo.
