About Paella rice

Paella rice, a cornerstone of Spanish cuisine, originates from the Valencia region and is a key ingredient in the iconic dish, paella. This short-grain variety, typically Bomba or Calasparra rice, is celebrated for its ability to absorb flavors without becoming mushy. Rich in carbohydrates, paella rice provides a great source of energy, making it a hearty foundation for meals. When combined with ingredients like seafood, chicken, or vegetables, it delivers a balanced array of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals. While low in fat and naturally gluten-free, the healthfulness of paella rice dishes largely depends on preparation, as the addition of oils, sodium, and other elements may affect its nutritional profile. Versatile and flavorful, paella rice is a delicious way to enjoy balanced Mediterranean-inspired meals.
