Carolino Rice

Carolino Rice is a staple short- to medium-grain rice variety commonly used in Portuguese cuisine, known for its tender, slightly sticky texture when cooked and its use in dishes like arroz de marisco and everyday stews. It is mainly a carbohydrate food, providing 80.9g of carbs per 100g, and contributes modest amounts of protein and a small amount of fiber. As a refined white rice, it tends to be lower in fiber and protective plant compounds than whole grains; however it supplies small amounts of minerals such as manganese and selenium and has a relatively straightforward, neutral flavor that makes it versatile in cooking.
