About ENRICHED MACARONI PRODUCT, ORZO
Meijer Enriched Macaroni Product Orzo is a rice-shaped dry pasta sold under the Meijer private-label brand from Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-headquartered Midwest supercenter chain. Listed in the Pasta by Shape and Type category, orzo (Italian for barley) is a small, oval pasta shape approximately the size and shape of a rice grain, used in soups, pilafs, stuffed peppers, and cold salads.
The base ingredient is semolina from durum wheat, enriched with niacin, ferrous sulfate (iron), thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid under FDA enriched macaroni product standards. No artificial ingredients, colorants, or preservatives are present. Orzo's compact size and shape allow it to function both as a pasta and as a rice substitute in many preparations, and it cooks faster than larger pasta shapes due to its small volume.
At 357 calories per 100 grams dry, this product provides 73.21 grams carbohydrates, 12.50 grams protein, 1.79 grams fat, and 3.6 grams fiber. Allergens: wheat only. Dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, nut-free, and vegan. Not suitable for gluten-free diets. Orzo is particularly popular in Greek and Mediterranean culinary traditions and is frequently used in Greek-style chicken orzo soup (giouvetsi), minestrone, and as a pilaf substitute for rice. Despite its visual resemblance to rice, it provides a distinctly different texture and chew than cooked rice. Nutritional profile is consistent with other semolina pasta shapes in the Meijer private-label line.
