Ask Our Dietician
My husband and I don’t take care of rice and had been substituting orzo, a rice-shaped pasta. What is the difference among rice and orzo in terms of fat, sugar and carbohydrates? —C.M., Muskegon, MichiganBecause of orzo’s similar shape and moderate flavor, it may be substituted for rice in lots of recipes. Nutritionally talking, the 2 are similar as well. Ounce for ounce, rice and orzo incorporate similar quantities of fats, sugar, carbohydrates or even sodium.
