Does whole wheat orzo exist?
NFT. TIA!
Re: Does whole wheat orzo exist?
It does.
And in my experience? It's terrible. At least the brand I had, which is the only one I've been able to find. It was just really gummy and not good. I eat all whole wheat pasta EXCEPT orzo.
I found some online here at amazon... but I agree with MWC, I've had it once and was not impressed.

Yes it does. I've never been able to find it in stores though. So I always order it online.

I saw a lot of people post that they don't like it, but I think it depends on how you prepare it. I make mine in a risotto style and my family loves it. Instead of boiling water and cooking it like regular pasta, I sautee up an onion in a little olive oil and throw in the orzo raw. Let it cook raw for about 2-3 minutes and then I add chicken broth and white wine (depending on how much you make but it's usually around 1 part orzo and 2-3 parts liquid). Stir it around so it doesn't stick and make sure the liquid gets absorbed - adding more stock if you need. Once the liquid is absorbed and the orzo is tender - I throw in a can of peas and a can of mushrooms or you could add peas and carrots - whatever you'd like!
It's definitely a favorite side dish in my family - even my 10 year old niece loves it! Hope this is helpful!
