About Greek rice

Greek Rice, or "Spanakorizo," is a flavorful dish originating from Greek cuisine, blending simple yet wholesome ingredients into a savory creation. Typically made with long-grain white rice or basmati, it’s infused with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs like dill or parsley, lending a fragrant and authentic Mediterranean essence. Many versions incorporate spinach, lemon juice, and sometimes tomatoes for a nutrient-rich, tangy twist. As a naturally gluten-free dish, Greek Rice is often celebrated for its balance of healthy fats from olive oil, fiber from vegetables, and antioxidants in the herbs. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on added fats or sodium levels in certain recipes. As a versatile base or side dish, Greek Rice complements grilled vegetables, chicken, or seafood, making it a staple in healthful Mediterranean diets renowned for promoting heart health and longevity.
