Hullo! Was wondering if anyone knows how many points are in orzo? It's similar to rice but I want to make sure of the points before I start adding it in to things! I've checked my WW books and can't seem to find a darn thing about the points in orzo!

orzo is pasta, so count it as pasta. However, in saying that, it is very dense i.e. it takes lots of orzo to make a cup versus rigatoni or penne, so I would weigh it before cooking to figure out the cooked weight portion.

I got this from Master Cook
1 Cup cooked Orzo is
212
Fat 1
Fiber 2
4 pts for a cup

Hope that helps!
