About Cilantro rice

Cilantro Rice is a flavorful side dish often enjoyed in Mexican and Latin American cuisine. Made by blending fresh cilantro with lime juice, garlic, and olive oil, then mixing it into cooked white or brown rice, this dish delivers a vibrant green color and zesty taste. While its origins trace back to regions where cilantro is a culinary staple, its popularity has spread globally due to its fresh and aromatic flavor profile. Nutritionally, Cilantro Rice offers a good source of carbohydrates from the rice, while the cilantro provides vitamin K, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties. Using olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, and opting for brown rice increases fiber content for improved digestion. However, the dish may be higher in calories depending on oil quantity or if heavy additions like butter are included. It pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or simply as a flavorful standalone side.
