Peruvian rice is a staple in traditional Peruvian cuisine, often characterized by its aromatic flavors and versatile use in dishes like arroz con pollo or chaufa. Typically prepared with white rice, it may include ingredients such as garlic, onion, and saffron or turmeric for vibrant color and enhanced flavor. Some variations incorporate vegetables, herbs, or protein for added nutrition. While white rice is a source of quick-digesting carbohydrates, it offers minimal fiber and certain essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. Healthier twists on Peruvian rice may include substituting brown rice or quinoa for increased fiber, protein, and overall nutritional value. Its simplicity allows it to pair well with nutrient-rich sauces, lean proteins, and fresh vegetables, making it a versatile side dish while providing opportunities to balance its nutritional profile.
