What it is
Cooked cilantro rice is a dish made by cooking rice, typically white rice, with fresh cilantro leaves and stems. The cilantro is often chopped and mixed in during or after the cooking process, infusing the rice with its distinct herbal flavor and aroma. It is a common side dish in many cuisines, particularly Latin American and Asian.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cooked cilantro rice as a flavorful base or side dish in packaged foods. It adds a fresh, herbaceous note and visual appeal to a variety of meals. It is frequently found in frozen dinners, grain bowls, burritos, and other ready-to-eat meals.
Health notes
Rice and cilantro are common food ingredients and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used as food. Neither rice nor cilantro have specific FDA GRAS notices or additive regulations as standalone ingredients, as they are considered whole foods. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'cooked cilantro rice' as a composite ingredient are not typically found. Consumption at typical dietary levels is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Cilantro is a herb, and rice is a grain. Neither are among the 9 FDA major allergens, nor do they contain gluten.
