Organic Arborio Rice Greek Health Trade 500gr

Arborio is a white, short-grained rice. It has a pearly, round, plump grain, which is the basis for risotto. It is an ideal rice for risotto, characterized by high absorbency and a firm, but "sticky" texture. These characteristics are ideal for preparing a moist, slightly sticky risotto, in which the grains retain their special identity. What makes it special is the higher than normal amount of soluble starch, which is released during cooking. The starch is what makes risotto creamy. The dish risotto refers not only to the rice, but also to the particular cooking technique of the rice. Arborio takes 18 minutes to cook. It is ready when it is al dente, soft on the outside and firm in the center. Rice is a unique food for athletes, both amateurs and professionals! In any physical activity, covering the body with carbohydrates plays an important role. One cup (160 gr. boiled) of long-grain rice provides the body with 47 gr. carbohydrates that do not concern sugars and which provide energy at the right rate and manner!
