What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the pasta/grains aisle or tucked on a home pantry shelf for quick weeknight dinners, salads, or a comforting bowl of orzo soup. It feels wholesome and comforting with a practical, slightly nostalgic vibe—simple, reliable pantry fare. Made from a single ingredient but milled and shaped into pasta, it yields a smooth, al dente texture and lacks additives, indicating a processed staple rather than an ultra-processed product.
