Description:

Southwest Mix Orzo is a creative blend of Black Bean, Maize, and Red Chile Orzo. Both colorful and mild-flavored, Southwest Mix Orzo has a chewy texture and subtle flavor. Our orzo is 1/3" long and shaped similar to a grain of rice. The shape and texture of Southwest Mix Orzo lend its use to many different applications. Traditionally, Orzo has been used with Rice to make Pilafs. Orzo, like many kinds of pasta, has become a flexible and versatile ingredient. In Italian, Orzo means "Barley". Since Pasta doesn't contain any Barley, the name is probably in reference to the shape of Orzo. Pasta has been a mainstay ingredient in Italian cooking for centuries. Orzo is just one of the many shapes developed for specific uses.
