Carolina rice from the company Mako, ideal for the lunch or dinner table. It is white and medium-grain rice that releases a lot of starch during cooking, while maintaining its shape, offering juicy dishes.

Ideal for stuffed dishes such as:

• cabbage rolls
• stuffed vegetables
• dolmades
• stuffed zucchini with egg-lemon sauce

To prevent a mushy texture, rinse the rice thoroughly in a colander under running water to remove surface starch. Squeeze a lemon over the washed rice and mix evenly. This method will keep the rice fluffy.

Absorbs fats and is ideal for pilaf that is not drained, such as:

• cabbage rice
• lentil rice
• spinach rice
• wedding pilaf
• meatball soup with rice

Not recommended for risotto due to the fragility of its grain, which breaks easily during stirring. Serve immediately after cooking for best results.
