Arroz Con Leche, or rice pudding, is a beloved dessert originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisine. Made by simmering white rice in milk, water, and sugar, it’s flavored with warm spices like cinnamon and sometimes vanilla or citrus zest. This creamy dish is occasionally topped with raisins or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. While a comforting and indulgent treat, its nutritional profile reveals both benefits and drawbacks. The milk provides calcium and protein, supporting bone health, while cinnamon may offer anti-inflammatory properties. However, Arroz Con Leche is typically high in added sugar and carbohydrates, making portion control important for those monitoring their calorie or sugar intake. Variations using lower-fat milk or alternative sweeteners can help make it a healthier choice while maintaining its traditional rich, satisfying taste.
