Arancini are crispy, golden rice balls originating from Sicilian cuisine in Italy. Traditionally made with risotto rice, they are stuffed with savory fillings such as mozzarella, meat ragù, or peas, then coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried to perfection. While a delicious indulgence, arancini are calorie-dense due to the frying process and use of cheese and meat, which contribute higher fat and sodium levels. However, they do provide energy from the starchy rice and some protein from the fillings. Variations using whole-grain rice, baked preparation methods, or vegetable-based fillings can enhance their nutritional profile, offering fiber, vitamins, and fewer unhealthy fats. Arancini are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
