About Rice with cilantro and lime

Rice with cilantro and lime is a flavorful dish inspired by Mexican and Latin American cuisine. This vibrant side combines fluffy white or brown rice with freshly chopped cilantro, lime juice, and zest for a zesty, herbaceous taste. Its simplicity makes it a versatile pairing for grilled meats, vegetables, or beans. Nutritionally, the dish provides energy through carbohydrates in the rice, while cilantro offers antioxidants and vitamins such as vitamin K. The lime juice adds immune-boosting vitamin C. Choosing brown rice can enhance its health profile by incorporating more fiber for improved digestion and sustained energy. However, sodium content can rise depending on how it’s seasoned, so opt for minimal added salt to maintain heart health. This dish is a delicious way to bring bright, fresh flavors to your plate while supporting nutrient balance in a meal.
