El arroz es uno de los cereales que más se cultiva en el mundo, forma parte de la familia de las gramíneas y es de origen Asiática. En particular, su cultivo se inició entre la India y China, pero en la actualidad se cultiva en todos los continentes.
El arroz viene considerado como un alimento básico en gran parte del planeta gracias a su aporte nutricional, de hecho, se trata de un alimento rico en hidratos de carbono (complejos), que aporta poca cantidad de grasa y no contiene colesterol. Además, es naturalmente sin gluten, por lo que es un alimento perfecto para aquellas personas con intolerancias a esta proteína.
Pero, ¿Por qué el arroz es el alimento más consumido? Principalmente porque se trata de un cereal de fácil cultivo que no requiere de cuidados especiales, asimismo no sufre variaciones de sabor y de calidad en el tiempo. Es un producto barato, accesible para todos y es un alimento sano que aporta importantes nutrientes al organismo. Gracias a su versatilidad existen numerosas recetas provenientes de todas las partes del mundo.
A pesar de ser un cereal beneficioso para nuestro organismo, consumirlo en exceso puede ser perjudicial, puesto que, debido a la cantidad de hidratos de carbonos que contiene, puede afectar la producción de insulina y el metabolismo de la glucosa. Además, hay que diferenciar las formas de preparar estos platos. Cuando se le adjuntan otros ingredientes puede resultar un plato con un elevado número de calorías, desaconsejado para aquellas personas con un estilo de vida sedentario.
Al día de hoy existen más de 10.000 variedades de arroz y en general se clasifican en 3 grupos: de grano corto/redondo, de grano mediano y de grano largo. Entre las variedades más conocidas encontramos:
China es el país que lidera las estadísticas mundiales con más de 140 millones de toneladas de arroz consumido al año. Le sigue India (100 millones de toneladas) y otros países asiáticos como Indonesia, Vietnam y Bangladesh entre otros.
En Europa, Italia y España lideran la producción de este cereal, los mismos países son también los que más consumen arroz dentro de la Unión Europea.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
