About Peas and rice
Peas and Rice is a simple yet flavorful dish commonly found in Caribbean, African, and Latin American cuisines. It typically combines cooked rice with peas or beans, often seasoned with herbs, spices, and ingredients like onions, garlic, and coconut milk. Variations include black-eyed peas, kidney beans, or pigeon peas, depending on regional preferences. Nutritionally, Peas and Rice provides a balanced mix of carbohydrates, plant-based protein, and fiber, making it a satisfying and energy-boosting meal. Beans and legumes add essential vitamins like folate and minerals such as iron and magnesium. While the dish is generally nutritious, depending on preparation, it may be high in sodium or saturated fats if excessive salt or coconut milk is used. A lighter version can be created by moderating added fats and opting for brown rice for additional fiber and nutrients. This versatile staple is both comforting and nourishing across cultures.
