Yellow Rice, Cooked

Yellow Rice, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Yellow rice is a seasoned dish made by cooking white rice with turmeric or saffron, giving it a vibrant golden hue and earthy, aromatic flavor. This staple of Latin American, Caribbean, and South Asian cuisines often incorporates garlic, onions, or broth during cooking for added depth. While nutritionally similar to plain white rice, the addition of turmeric provides antioxidants like curcumin, making it a more nutrient-dense choice among flavored rice dishes.
