About Arroz de polvo

Arroz de Polvo, a traditional Portuguese dish, features tender octopus simmered with rice in a flavorful blend of olive oil, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and aromatic herbs. Hailing from coastal Portugal, this hearty yet simple recipe highlights the country's love for fresh seafood and Mediterranean flavors. Octopus is a lean protein source, rich in vitamins B12 and B6, potassium, and selenium, beneficial for energy metabolism and immune health. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while tomatoes provide antioxidants like lycopene. The dish is naturally low in saturated fats, though portion control is key as its richness might make overconsumption easy. Typically enjoyed as a main course, Arroz de Polvo combines wholesome ingredients in a comforting and nutrient-dense meal, making it a delightful choice for those exploring healthy international cuisine.
