Zira Rice is the aromatic base of a real oriental pilaf, which is valued by restaurant chefs for its taste, texture and consistent results. The grains are long, dense and hold their shape well, so after cooking the rice remains crumbly, does not stick together and perfectly absorbs the aroma of spices, meat and broth.
This variety is traditionally used in Uzbek and Central Asian cuisine. During the cooking process, Zira rice reveals a light nutty aroma and rich taste, which makes the pilaf truly authentic. Thanks to its structure, it is ideal for restaurant cuisine: it can withstand long-term cooking, retains its beautiful appearance and presentation on the plate.
Zira Rice will be an excellent choice for establishments where quality, stability and the real taste of oriental dishes are important. With it, the pilaf turns out to be aromatic, crumbly and restaurant-style. Ideal for both traditional recipes and original interpretations of oriental cuisine.
