The Classic Whole Grain Carnaroli Rice from Acqua e Sole is truly extraordinary! It is no coincidence that Carnaroli is referred to as the "King of rices": thanks to its high starch content, firmer texture, and longer grains, it is able to hold its cooking excellently. Carnaroli Rice is a variety native to Pavia, Novara, and Vercelli, born in 1945 thanks to the work of the rice grower from Paullo, Angelo De Vecchi, who crossed two other rice varieties: Vialone and Lencino. The name of this particular rice seems to derive from that of one of his collaborators, one Carnaroli indeed. This is especially a whole grain rice that therefore retains many more nutritional properties compared to traditional refined white rice because, being less processed, it contains a higher amount of fiber. Whole grain rice is indeed a highly digestible food, very beneficial for the intestine, and has a lower glycemic index precisely due to its high fiber content.
