how many points in orzo?

  • 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!
