Description

Cooked rice is rice that has been previously boiled or steamed until it reaches a soft and fluffy texture, ready to be used directly in various culinary preparations. This ingredient is fundamental in many cuisines around the world and serves as a base or accompaniment in countless recipes, from stews and salads to desserts and main dishes.

Rice is originally from the Asian continent, although it is cultivated in practically all regions of the world due to its adaptability and nutritional value. Cooked rice retains the properties of the raw grain, primarily providing complex carbohydrates, fiber (especially if it is brown rice), B vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. Furthermore, it is low in fat and, depending on the type of rice used, can be a good source of plant-based proteins.

In different Latin American countries, cooked rice is also known as prepared rice, ready rice, or simply white rice (when it is cooked white rice without seasonings). This ingredient is essential for streamlining daily cooking, avoiding the long cooking process when you want to incorporate rice into quick recipes like stir-fries, soups, or fillings.
