Rice is a staple food in many parts of the world, but did you know that Europe is home to several varieties of high-quality rice. Greek rice in particular is known for its excellent taste and texture, as well as its nutritional value.
In fact, rice was introduced to Europe from the naturalists who followed Alexander the Great in his expeditions. They found fertile soil in Mediterranean Europe and rice was grown, loved and became part of European culinary tradition. Now, rice grows mainly in coastal areas, and the Deltas of the rivers of Greece.
The European Rice team will host an event on the 30th of March focused on rice that is produced to Greece where attendees will learn more about the main variety that is produced in Greece and also have the opportunity to taste the difference.
European rice is today distinguished for its quality and nutritional value. The event will showcase the versatility of European Rice, and the unique features of it that makes it stand out to a number of prominent chefs and business owners across the city, inspiring the attendees to incorporate more European rice into their cooking.
This is a unique opportunity for our Liverpool Food Network members to discover the European rice produced in Greece and to learn about its unique characteristics and culinary uses.
We look forward to welcoming the European Rice team to our wonderful city on March 30th!
