About Yellow rice with peas and carrots
Yellow Rice with Peas and Carrots is a vibrant dish commonly found in cuisines such as Spanish, Caribbean, and South Asian. The base of the dish is long-grain white or jasmine rice, which is naturally colored yellow by turmeric or saffron, both of which add subtle flavor and visual appeal. Tender peas and sweet diced carrots are mixed in, providing a balance of textures and a boost of vegetables. This dish is often seasoned with garlic, onion, and mild spices, creating a comforting and aromatic side or main course. Nutritionally, the rice serves as a source of carbohydrates for energy, while the peas add plant-based protein and fiber, and the carrots contribute vitamins like A and antioxidants. However, it can be high in sodium or calories if prepared with excessive oil, butter, or salt, so mindful cooking methods can enhance its healthfulness while maintaining its rich flavor.
