About Riz

Riz, the Arabic term for rice, is a staple ingredient across Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and South Asian cuisines. This versatile grain is typically consumed as a base for savory dishes, such as pilafs or stews, and can also feature in sweet recipes like rice puddings. Nutritionally, unprocessed forms like brown riz provide a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including manganese and magnesium. They support digestion, maintain steady energy levels, and promote overall heart health. White riz, the more commonly consumed variant, is milled and polished, which removes much of its fiber and nutrients but makes it quicker to cook and easier to digest. While it's low in fat and cholesterol-free, white riz has a high glycemic index and may spike blood sugar levels if consumed in large quantities. For a balanced approach, pairing riz with lean proteins, healthy fats, and vegetables is recommended.
