About Persian rice
Persian Rice, a staple of Iranian cuisine, is celebrated for its fluffy texture and fragrant aroma. Typically made from long-grain basmati rice, it features ingredients such as saffron, turmeric, and sometimes dried fruits or nuts for added flavor and richness. One signature method of preparation, known as "tahdig," creates a crispy golden crust at the bottom of the pot, enhancing both taste and texture. Persian Rice is naturally gluten-free and provides a wholesome source of carbohydrates, fueling the body with energy. Its health profile depends on the cooking techniques and additions; plain steamed rice is low in fat, while versions enriched with butter or oil may be higher in calories and saturated fat. Rich in antioxidants from saffron and turmeric, it retains aspects of heart-friendly nutrition when seasoned thoughtfully. Perfect as a centerpiece or side dish, Persian Rice is a versatile and culturally iconic food.
