"Diri Shella" , Rice by Lakay Delicacies. It is a type of premium parboiled Basmati rice that is a staple of Haitian cuisine, also known as Diri Chodé or Riz Shella.
Key Characteristics:
- Origin and Authenticity: Diri Sheila is typically imported directly from Haiti and prized for its authentic, traditional flavor.
- Texture and Appearance: It is a long-grain rice that cooks up fluffy and with separate grains, making it non-sticky and suitable for various dishes like pilafs or rice and beans.
- Aroma and Preparation: The rice naturally possesses a distinct, strong, earthy aroma. It is recommended to rinse the rice multiple times, often with lemon or lime juice, to reduce this inherent smell if desired.
- Usage: It is versatile and can be used as a side dish or as a base for flavorful recipes, such as cooking with black Haitian mushrooms (djondjon).
- Health Benefits: As a parboiled rice, it is a gluten-free source of essential vitamins and minerals, complex carbohydrates for energy, and is high in fiber, which may also offer a lower glycemic index.
