Alta Gusto Carolina Rice is the perfect choice to complete your lunch or dinner. It is a white medium-grain rice that releases starch during cooking without becoming mushy, thus offering juicy and tasty dishes. It is ideal for stuffing vegetables, such as in recipes for stuffed peppers, dolmades, or zucchini with avgolemono sauce, providing you with the perfect result if handled properly.

To maintain the texture of the rice and avoid a muddy consistency, it is recommended to rinse it well under running water to remove the surface starch. A good idea is to squeeze a lemon over the washed rice and stir, to keep it fluffy. It absorbs fats and is excellent for pilafs that won’t drain, such as cabbage rice, lentil rice, and spinach rice. However, it is not recommended for risotto, as the grain is not very resistant to stirring.
