Orzo whole wheat organic

Whole wheat Orzo: a rarity

Looking for whole wheat orzo? Then you're not the only one. This variety - made from organic whole wheat semolina from Italy - can hardly be found on store shelves, yet foodies swear by it. Now finally available, and for good reason.

More fiber, more flavor

This whole grain orzo is made from the whole grain, including germ and bran. This makes it rich in fiber, more nutritious than white pasta, and better for your digestion as well as satiety.

Whole grain products are also digested more slowly, keeping your energy stable. And just as important: this orzo tastes excellent, with a nutty undertone and a firm bite.

Cooking & using wholemeal orzo

• Rinse briefly before use

• Cooking time: 8 minutes

Or: prepared like orzotto, by first stewing it briefly like risotto rice, then cooking it slowly in broth or sauce.

• Made from whole wheat semolina
