About A tablespoon of arroz con leche

Arroz con leche, a traditional dessert from Latin American and Spanish cuisine, is a creamy rice pudding made with simple yet flavorful ingredients. A tablespoon-sized serving typically includes cooked white rice, milk, sugar, and a hint of cinnamon and vanilla for added warmth and aroma. Variations may include raisins or condensed milk for extra sweetness. While this small portion of arroz con leche offers a comforting taste of its rich cultural heritage, its nutritional benefits are limited due to the high sugar content and use of white rice, which is less nutrient-dense than whole grains. On the positive side, the milk provides a modest amount of calcium and protein. Enjoy it as an occasional treat that evokes the comforting flavors of home but pair it with a balanced diet to maintain overall health.
