Suma Organic Italian White Orzo 500g

The Versatile "Pasta-Rice" That Does It All.

Suma Organic Italian White Orzo (often called risoni) is one of the most hardworking shapes in the pantry. Shaped exactly like large grains of rice, this tiny, pearl-like pasta is incredibly versatile. It offers the comfort of pasta with the delicate, refined texture of a grain, making it an ideal candidate for everything from comforting winter soups and vibrant summer salads to creamy, risotto-style dishes.

Crafted in Italy using organic durum wheat semolina and bronze-die methods, this orzo maintains a fantastic texture that resists turning mushy, ensuring your dishes stay elegant and well-defined.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Incredibly Versatile: Use it anywhere you would use rice, or as a hearty addition to soups to give them body and texture.

• Quick Cooking: Because of its small size, it cooks rapidly, making it the perfect solution for when you need a nutritious, home-cooked meal in minutes.

• Perfect Texture: Unlike some tiny pasta shapes that lose their shape easily, Suma’s orzo stays firm and satisfying, providing a lovely, chewy mouthfeel.

• Ethically Sourced: As a worker-owned cooperative, Suma ensures that your pasta is not just organic and free from synthetic pesticides, but also ethically and sustainably produced.

• 100% Certified Organic: Pure, clean ingredients—just organic durum wheat semolina and water.

Tips for Perfect Orzo

• The Risotto Method: Want the creaminess of a risotto without the 20-minute stirring commitment? Cook orzo in a pan, adding hot stock a ladle at a time, just like you would with Arborio rice. Finish with a little butter and Parmesan for a "pasta-risotto" that is incredibly luxurious.

• Don't Overcook: Orzo cooks fast! Start checking for al dente tenderness at the 6-minute mark. It should be tender but still have a slight "bite" in the center.

• Soup Savior: If adding orzo to soups (like minestrone or chicken noodle), add it during the last 8 minutes of the soup's cooking time so it doesn't soak up all the broth and overcook.

• Salad Base: Orzo makes a fantastic base for cold salads. Toss it with feta, olives, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and a bright lemon-herb dressing for a fresh, Mediterranean-inspired lunch.
