Riso, Italian for "rice," is a versatile grain widely used in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in dishes like risotto and arancini. Originating from Asia, rice found its way to Italy centuries ago and has since become a staple in regional cooking. Riso is a carbohydrate-rich food, providing energy and essential nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium, and selenium. Brown or whole-grain varieties offer higher fiber content, aiding digestion and promoting heart health. White riso, while softer and faster to cook, is less nutrient-dense and has a higher glycemic index, which may impact blood sugar levels. Gluten-free, riso is suitable for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Pairing riso with vegetables, lean proteins, or healthy fats enhances its nutritional profile, making it a balanced choice for meals.
