The history of rice in the Girona region dates back to the 14th<\/sup> century. Our ancestors wanted to make use of the marshes and wetlands of L’Empord\u00e0, formed by the mouths of three rivers, the Ter and the Fluvi\u00e0, and to a lesser extent the Muga, for agricultural production. Indeed, until the 19th<\/sup> century, L’Empord\u00e0 was the only rice-producing area in the principality. Unfortunately, the characteristics of the ancient varieties, which were likely to have had a high capacity for absorbing liquid, are unknown. This hypothesis is based on the proportions of rice and water or broth, of a pound of rice to a porr\u00f3<\/em> (a tradional wine pitcher) and a half of water (i.e., 400 g to approximately 1.5 litres) in the classic rice dish of Girona cuisine, arroz a la cazuela<\/em>, which was usually quite soupy, and, also, on the idea that the rice had to be grenyal<\/em> or al punt<\/em> (al diente), so that it did not become overcooked and powdery.<\/h6>\n

Among the different varieties grown by the twenty or so farmers on around a thousand hectares, mainly in El Baix Empord\u00e0, the most important are the round-grain species, of the Bah\u00eda variety, although long-grain varieties are also gaining ground. The widespread passion for gastronomy has led to increased planting and testing of new varieties.<\/p>\n

Today, rice paddies have become a feature of the landscape in the L’Empord\u00e0 wetlands and added value for the natural parks of the marshes, in El Alt Empord\u00e0, and El Montgr\u00ed, Les Illes Medes and El Baix Ter, in El Baix Empord\u00e0. This is why these rice fields have been classified as agri-environmental crops. Month after month, the rice fields mark the rhythm of the seasons. In the cold months, the fields return to their original wetland state. Then, between the end of April and the beginning of May, with the paddies flooded, the planting is carried out. In the summer they become elegant, a domesticated landscape, which continues to ripen up to the autumn harvest, just before the cycle begins again.<\/p>\n

This variety of rice has been grown in an eco-friendly way by the Parals family. They have owned the historic rice mill in Pals since 1984, which is documented as far back as 1452.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Company: Arr\u00f2s de Pals, SL<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” color=”#000000″ thickness=”1″ up=”10″ down=”10″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]This variety of semi-long grain rice absorbs less juice during cooking and maintains its firm texture, making it ideal for dishes in which the sauce is served on the side. As it is grown in areas that have cooler summers and lower latitudes, it ripens more slowly and it is more robust, meaning that once it is cooked, it retains its texture better.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Company: Arr\u00f2s de Pals, SL<\/p>\n

Brown rice<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” color=”#000000″ thickness=”1″ up=”10″ down=”10″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Brown rice is obtained from round-grain varieties. Once the outer husk has been removed, most of the bran, the pericarp and the skin are preserved. This rice is therefore a great source of fibre, E and B-group vitamins, and mineral salts, especially phosphorus and magnesium. Brown rice needs a longer cooking time than white rice.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Company: Arr\u00f2s de Pals, SL<\/p>\n
