About Puso rice
Puso rice, also known as "hanging rice," is a popular street food staple in the Philippines, particularly in Cebuano cuisine. This unique creation features cooked white rice tightly packed and steamed inside intricately hand-woven pouches made from young coconut or palm leaves. The pouch not only serves as an eco-friendly container but also imparts a subtle earthy aroma to the rice. Traditionally served alongside grilled or roasted meats, puso rice is a convenient and portable food option. While it is a nutrient-rich source of energy due to its carbohydrate content, its nutritional value depends on the type of rice used. Opting for brown or unpolished rice variants can increase fiber, vitamins, and mineral content. However, as a refined carbohydrate, white rice may cause blood sugar spikes if consumed in excess. Puso rice is a cultural icon that showcases sustainability and culinary creativity in Filipino cuisine.
