White rice is a daily staple served alongside beans and tortillas in the classic Guatemalan combination known as “casamiento” when mixed with beans. Guatemala imports a significant portion of its rice, making prices sensitive to international markets. Most families buy rice in bulk (25-50 lb bags) from markets or wholesalers for the best per-pound price.
