Sivaris round rice is a medium-grain product grown in the Albufera Natural Park in Valencia. This japonica rice variety is known for its ability to absorb flavors, making it a perfect ingredient for a wide range of traditional Mediterranean recipes. It cooks optimally in about 13-15 minutes, yielding a tender and juicy result. This rice has a short, round grain that releases some of its starch when cooked, resulting in a creamy texture, ideal for dishes like paella, soupy rice, and risottos. Additionally, Sivaris rice is 100% natural and gluten-free, making it suitable for those with celiac disease. The Sivaris brand is known for its commitment to sustainability, cultivating its rice responsibly to preserve the ecosystem of the Albufera Natural Park.
