About Egyptian rice
Egyptian rice, known locally as "roz masri," is a staple of Egyptian cuisine, commonly served alongside meats, stews, or vegetables. Unlike long-grain varieties, Egyptian rice is short-grain and becomes tender and slightly sticky when cooked. It is typically prepared with simple ingredients like water, butter or oil, and sometimes seasoned with salt or spices for added flavor. Nutritionally, Egyptian rice offers a source of carbohydrates and provides energy, making it a filling addition to meals. While it is low in fat, its preparation methods can impact its healthiness; using butter or oil increases its calorie and fat content. Served in moderation, Egyptian rice can be part of a balanced diet, especially when paired with nutrient-dense foods like legumes or vegetables. It is a comforting, versatile dish deeply rooted in Egyptian culinary traditions.
