Cooked brown rice

Cooked brown rice is a staple in many cuisines around the world, known for being a whole grain that retains all the layers of the original rice, unlike white rice. It is obtained by cooking brown rice, which is the whole rice grain with its bran and germ intact, giving it a firmer texture and a slightly nutty flavor.

Brown rice originates from Southeast Asian regions, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years. Over time, its consumption has spread globally due to its nutritional benefits and distinctive flavor contribution.

Among its main properties, it stands out for its high content of dietary fiber, B vitamins, minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus, as well as antioxidants. Thanks to its low glycemic index, it is an ideal choice for those looking to control blood sugar levels and maintain healthy digestion.

In different Latin American countries, cooked brown rice may have various names or synonyms, including: boiled brown rice, integral moro rice (when mixed with beans), or simply brown rice, emphasizing its already cooked state for direct use in recipes.

This ingredient is versatile and is used in salads, side dishes, healthy bowls, and main courses, adding an extra dose of nutrients and texture to preparations.
