About Puerto rican rice
Puerto Rican rice, often called "arroz con gandules," is a vibrant staple in Puerto Rican cuisine. This dish combines long-grain rice, pigeon peas, sofrito (a blend of onions, peppers, garlic, and cilantro), tomato sauce, and a mix of spices like sazón and adobo, giving it a rich, savory flavor. Sometimes, olives or cured ham are added for extra depth. Originating from Puerto Rico, this rice is traditionally served during holidays and family gatherings alongside dishes like roast pork ("pernil"). Nutritionally, it provides carbohydrates for energy and some fiber from the peas, while the sofrito adds vitamins from fresh ingredients. However, it can be high in sodium due to the use of pre-made spice blends and tomato sauce, so making homemade sofrito or opting for lower-sodium alternatives can make it a healthier choice. Puerto Rican rice reflects the island's rich heritage and culinary traditions in every bite.
