About Medium grain rice
Medium-grain rice is a versatile and nutritious staple found in many global cuisines, including Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American dishes. Known for its tender texture and slightly sticky quality, it absorbs flavors beautifully and works well in risottos, paellas, sushi, and pilafs. Medium-grain rice is a source of energy, offering complex carbohydrates that support sustained energy release. It contains essential vitamins like B6, and minerals such as magnesium and selenium, supporting overall health. Naturally gluten-free and low in fat, it can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. While more processed forms may have reduced fiber content, opting for varieties like brown medium-grain rice adds heart-healthy benefits, thanks to its fibrous bran layer. Keep portions in check, as rice is calorie-dense, and balance it with vegetables and proteins to create a well-rounded meal.
