Key features
Short-grain and plump: Unlike long-grain rice, baldo rice has plump, short grains that become soft and tender when cooked.
Starchy and absorbent: The high starch content in Turkish baldo rice allows it to absorb a lot of liquid and flavor, making it ideal for creamy dishes.
Superior taste: It has a distinct and slightly buttery flavor profile.
Versatile: Suitable for a variety of dishes, including traditional Turkish pilav (pilaf), dolma (stuffed vegetables), and desserts.
Dietary friendly: Vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO.
Easy to cook: While it may require careful water management, it is known to cook evenly and hold its shape well.
Suggested uses
Turkish pilaf (Pilav): Its primary use is in Turkish pilaf, where it is often cooked with butter or olive oil and broth for a rich, flavorful result.
Stuffed vegetables (Dolma): The tender, flavorful grains are an excellent filling for stuffed vegetables, such as zucchini, peppers, or grape leaves.
Soups: Can be added to soups to give them a thicker, creamier consistency.
Desserts: The rice can also be used in desserts and puddings.
Cooking instructions
Soak: Some sources suggest soaking the rice for 10 minutes before cooking to improve the texture.
Water ratio: A good starting point is to use about 1.5 cups of hot water for every cup of baldo rice.
