About Moro rice

Moro Rice is a flavorful dish rooted in Caribbean and Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in the Dominican Republic. This traditional recipe combines white rice with black or red beans, onions, garlic, herbs, and olive oil, cooked together for a well-rounded, savory profile. Sometimes, cured meats or vegetable broth are added to enhance its taste. Moro Rice is a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber from the beans, aiding digestion and providing sustained energy. The dish also delivers essential nutrients like iron, folate, and magnesium. However, depending on preparation, it can be high in sodium or calories if excessive salted meats or oils are included. For a healthier take, opt for brown rice and moderate oil use to boost the dish’s fiber content and lower fat levels. Moro Rice pairs well with lean proteins or fresh vegetables for a balanced, satisfying meal.
