About Rizogalo

Rizogalo, a traditional Greek rice pudding, is a creamy dessert made primarily from short-grain rice, milk, sugar, and occasionally flavored with cinnamon or vanilla. Its origins lie in Greek cuisine, often enjoyed as a comforting treat or light snack. Rizogalo is naturally rich in calcium and protein, thanks to its milk content, which supports bone health and muscle function. The simple preparation makes it a wholesome option free of additives when homemade. However, it should be consumed in moderation, as the added sugar can contribute to excessive calorie intake, and the dessert is typically low in fiber. For a healthier twist, some recipes substitute white sugar with honey or use plant-based milk alternatives, which can lower the saturated fat content. Rizogalo offers a nostalgic taste of Greek culinary tradition balanced by its creamy texture and subtle sweetness.
