Rice with peas and corn is a simple, colorful dish that combines steamed rice with sweet corn kernels and tender green peas. Popular in many cuisines, particularly Caribbean, Latin American, and Asian cooking, this dish is a versatile side or vegetarian main. The ingredients provide a balance of carbohydrates from the rice and essential nutrients from the vegetables. Peas are an excellent source of plant protein, fiber, and vitamins like C and K. Corn adds sweetness along with antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, beneficial for eye health. While it’s naturally low in fat and can be prepared without added oils, the dish's nutritional profile depends on preparation methods, as excessive salt or butter may reduce its healthiness. Perfect for meal prep or quick cooking, its mild flavors pair well with various herbs, spices, or proteins.
