In the 1520’s rice was brought to Mexico by the Spaniards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing European elements to the Mexican kitchen was a first example of fusion cooking. By integrating Spanish ingredients into the Mexican kitchen the modern Mexican cuisine was created, of which rice is an important part. The Spanish rice was prepared with saffron, which was too expensive for the people in Mexico and therefore replaced with tomatoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the different parts of Mexico the rice dishes were prepared differently depending of the local indigenous ingredients available.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Mexico having a monsoon like rainy season in summer it made the country most suitable for the growth of rice. Two yearly rice harvests are possible in the state of Campeche and the state of Veracruz is also suitable for a summer harvest. Half of the rice produced in Mexico is produced in those two states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice has become an important part of most Mexican main meals and Mexican cuisine without rice would be unthinkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
