It is one of the healthiest types of rice, as it has a lower glycemic index and fewer calories compared to others. It is almost fat-free and one serving has only about 200 calories. Unlike some other types of rice grains, it has a higher amount of dietary fiber. Ideal rice for a diet, rich in nutritional elements and low in sodium and calories.

Its preparation is particularly easy.

• 1. A quick rinse to remove excess starch
• 2. Optional sautéing with a little oil for a few seconds, which will make it slightly crispy and enhance its nutty character.
• 3. Simmering in water or broth, with a ratio of 1 rice to 2 water.
