Description

Quick-cook white rice is a type of rice that has been specially processed to significantly reduce cooking time compared to traditional white rice. This rice has been pre-cooked and then dehydrated, allowing it to be prepared in just a few minutes, making it ideal for recipes that require speed without sacrificing the characteristic texture and flavor of white rice.

Rice is a cereal grain originating in Asia, cultivated for thousands of years, with a great variety of types adapted to different climates and culinary uses. Quick-cook white rice retains the main properties of common white rice, being a good source of complex carbohydrates that provide energy, with low fat content and gluten-free, making it suitable for various diets.

In different regions of Latin America, this type of rice may be known simply as "instant white rice" or "pre-cooked rice". In some countries, it is also called "express cook rice". Its versatility makes it a very popular ingredient for preparing quick side dishes, stir-fried rice, salads, or dishes where the goal is to speed up the cooking process without losing quality.
