Arborio rice is extremely versatile. It’s creamy, textured rice that remains firm in the center making it the best choice for risottos. It’s an excellent base for salads, and a natural companion to vegetables, fish, meats, and cheese, and key ingredient in pilafs, base of a fat-free broth, chopped nuts, dried fruits, and rice pudding.  Gluten free, suitable for people with celiac disease, and rarely, if ever, causes food allergies. Easy to digest for convalescents and restores bowel function after a bout of diarrhea.  Parboiled rice improves the nutritional quality of the grain that’ll improve thiamine/vitamin B1 deficiencies in people such as beriberi.  Rice makes a complete protein when combined with beans and other legumes. Protein, is necessary for the building and repair of body tissues, produces enzymes, hormones, and other substances the body uses. Regulates body processes, such as water balancing, transporting nutrients, and making muscles contract, keeps the body healthy by resisting diseases, and prevents one from becoming easily fatigued by producing stamina and energy.
