About Yellow rice with peas

Yellow Rice with Peas is a vibrant and flavorful dish often associated with Spanish, Caribbean, and South Asian cuisines. Made by cooking long grain white or basmati rice with turmeric or saffron for its yellow hue, this dish is seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices such as garlic, onion, and cumin. Green peas are added for a pop of sweetness and color, boosting its nutrient profile with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Often prepared using vegetable stock or chicken broth, it can also include optional ingredients like bell peppers or carrots for added depth. While the fiber and vitamins from the peas and turmeric's anti-inflammatory benefits make it a nutritious choice, the healthiness can vary depending on sodium content from broth or additional oil used in cooking. Yellow Rice with Peas is a versatile side dish or standalone meal that brings balanced flavor and essential nutrients to your table.
