About Lebanese yellow rice

Lebanese Yellow Rice is a fragrant, flavorful dish originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Lebanon. Traditionally, this rice is prepared using long-grain rice, turmeric for its vibrant yellow color, and sometimes a touch of cinnamon for warmth. Olive oil or butter is used for cooking, and the rice is typically simmered with water or broth, along with finely chopped onions for added depth. Lebanese Yellow Rice pairs well with grilled meats, stews, or vegetables, serving as a versatile side dish. Nutritionally, turmeric provides antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits, while olive oil offers heart-healthy fats. However, depending on the amount of added oil or butter, the dish can be calorie-dense. It is low in protein and fiber, making it less filling compared to alternatives like whole-grain rice. Nonetheless, it remains a delicious, aromatic staple in Lebanese cuisine that complements a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation.
