Risotto is a classic Italian rice dish made by slowly cooking short-grain rice — typically Arborio or Carnaroli — in broth until it reaches a creamy, starchy consistency. It is usually served as a first course or main dish and can be prepared with a wide range of additions such as mushrooms, seafood, or vegetables. Per 100 g, risotto provides 148 kcal, 4.2 g of protein, 4.8 g of fat, 22.4 g of carbohydrates, and 0.8 g of dietary fibre, with 1.2 g of sugars. Notable minerals include sodium at 380 mg, potassium at 120 mg, and calcium at 62 mg per 100 g. No glycemic index value is available for this preparation. Risotto is compatible with vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, and Mediterranean dietary patterns.
How many calories in risotto?
Risotto contains 148 kcal per 100 g. A typical restaurant serving of around 300 g would come to approximately 444 kcal, though this varies depending on added ingredients like butter, cheese, or cream.
How much sodium is in risotto?
Risotto contains 380 mg of sodium per 100 g, which is relatively high compared to many other grain dishes. Most of this sodium comes from the cooking broth and any added cheese or seasoning.
Is risotto gluten-free?
Traditional risotto made with Arborio or Carnaroli rice is naturally gluten-free, and it appears on the gluten-free diet list for this reason. However, cross-contamination or certain added ingredients — such as some broths or flavourings — can introduce gluten, so it is worth checking specific recipes or restaurant preparations.
