Rice with carrots and peas is a simple yet flavorful dish enjoyed across various cuisines, particularly in Asian, Latin American, and Mediterranean cooking. It typically combines cooked white or brown rice with sautéed or steamed carrots and peas, seasoned with herbs, spices, or light sauces. The dish can be customized with additional vegetables or protein for a more balanced meal. Carrots provide beta-carotene and vitamin A, essential for eye health, while peas offer fiber, protein, and essential vitamins like C and K. Using brown rice instead of white rice adds whole grains and sustained energy. While nutritious overall, watch for added oils, butter, or excess sodium in seasoning, which can reduce its health benefits. Rice with carrots and peas is versatile, affordable, and suitable for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.
