Arroz Blanco, or white rice, is a staple dish in many global cuisines, particularly in Latin American, Asian, and Caribbean cooking. Made from polished white rice grains, it’s often cooked with water, salt, and occasionally oil or butter for added flavor. This versatile side dish is mild in taste, pairing well with various proteins, vegetables, and sauces. Nutritionally, white rice offers a source of carbohydrates for energy but is lower in fiber compared to whole-grain options like brown rice, as the bran and germ are removed during processing. While it provides essential nutrients such as B vitamins and iron, it has a higher glycemic index, which can impact blood sugar levels if consumed in large amounts. For a healthier version, opt for minimal added fats or prepare it alongside fiber-rich vegetables to make it a more balanced component of your meal.
