Few recipes seem as simple and, at the same time, generate as many errors as white rice. What if it is pasty, hard or flavorless. The good news is that mastering it doesn’t require complicated techniques, but rather understanding proportions, times and small details backed by food science. Done well, white rice is a versatile, economical and digestive base that accompanies everything from homemade stews to more elaborate dishes.
In addition, studies from the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition and the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health indicate that, prepared correctly and in adequate portions, white rice is a quick source of energy and easy digestion, ideal for people with sensitive stomachs.
