About Cooked rice and peas
Cooked rice and peas is a simple, nutritious dish enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, with notable popularity in Caribbean and African cooking. Typically consisting of steamed white or brown rice combined with green peas or pigeon peas, it offers a balance of carbohydrates and plant-based protein. Brown rice provides fiber and essential vitamins like B6 and magnesium, while peas contribute antioxidants, vitamin C, and iron, promoting overall health and energy. The dish is often seasoned with herbs, spices, or coconut milk, adding flavor and richness but potentially increasing fat and calorie content depending on preparation methods. While white rice is low in fiber, choosing whole grain varieties enhances its benefits. Cooked rice and peas can be a wholesome side or a foundation for protein-rich entrees, making it versatile for a balanced diet. For reduced sodium and fat, watch added condiments and seasonings commonly used in recipes.
