Great Low Carb Co. Pasta Rice Ozro | Keto Pasta, Rice Noodles, Low Carb Pasta 8 Ounce

I don’t eat a lot of pasta because it’s so high in carbs. But, found this and I really like it. That said, very pricey. I did some research and now order directly from the maker’s website. They do charge a flat shipping fee of $7.99, unless you order $75 then it’s free. But, I ordered the 4 pack and two more pasta noodles and it’s less than half of what I paid here.

I have bought a few packages of this rice and have been enjoying it. I last purchased it in July 2020. It is now August 2020. The price has increased by more than $5 per bag. Disappointed and will be waiting for the price to drop before I buy again or will seek a more inexpensive option.

Instructions say to cook this for 8-10 minutes. Lies. It tastes completely uncooked, powdery and chewy- in a gross way. So I tried to also cook it for as long as it would take to get soft. Took 30 mins of boiling for it to only have a slight bite to it. Even then, it was wretched. Don’t waste your money.

Just as a qualifier, I've tried before: cauliflower, and palmini.If you can cook good it all tastes good. But the question then is how's the texture. This low orzo carb beats the cauliflower and palmini. It has the most rice like texture and shape. It holds its shape pretty well. It has more of a mush texture when biting into it rather than a gummy texture you get from chewing rice and then again some rice even varies in this factor. On the other hand, the cauliflower rice has no texture and is noticeably a vegetable. And so is the palmini, it's like diced cooked carrots. However, all can be satisfying if cooked right and help with a diet.From my photo for instance, it's actually a mixture of orzo and white rice that I cooked into a fried rice (its the larger rice shape individual grains). I found that visually one 8oz packet of the orzo roughly equals 16oz cooked white rice. Doubling the volume while not doubling the grams of carbs. Each rice sub can be enjoyed like this strategically, however on its own as a plain white rice, the Orzo is best - although noticeably not white rice.I love this item because it's low carb and high protein. And in my experience has done the best job replicating white rice, but it's too pricey. If my plan is to just mix it with regular white rice to increase the volume while cutting the carbs then I rather just do cauliflower rice as it's the most affordable.Would I recommend? Yes. Would I buy again? Yes, but not as often as I would like. In fact, I'm searching for thr next alternative.

Love the texture I will buy again.

This review is for the GLCBC Low Carb Pasta Rice Orzo, which was surprisingly decent, given that their other pasta products were so intolerable. I could never give a 5 star review for a rice substitute (nothing will be a perfect substitute), but I was reasonably happy with this product (orzo rice), and would purchase again. I also dropped a star rating because of expense. I did have to cook it much longer than the 8-10 minutes recommended. I had to cook it 30 minutes before it lost that "chalky" texture, but it was still firm enough, not mushy. And I had to heavily season to give it some decent flavor for my dish (more than normal rice). We used it in a chicken and rice dish and we ate it, instead of throwing it out, like we did with the GLCBC fettuccine.(Note: See my separate 1 star review for products contained in the 4 Pack Assortment Low Carb Pasta, Fettuccine, Rotini, Penne, and Elbows by GLCBC.)

Since I have to be on a low carb diet, I use this orzo pasta as rice. It's the best thing I've found and the texture and taste are great. I would highly recommend.

This is perfect if you miss rice. I don’t know how close it is to Ozro because I’ve never had it, but as a rice substitute, it’s perfect. Some might think it’s too expensive but I don’t use a lot . Just enough to satisfy my taste
