About Minute white rice

Minute White Rice is a pre-cooked, dehydrated variety of white rice designed for quick preparation. White rice is a staple across many global cuisines, including Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern dishes. It arises from milling brown rice to remove the bran and germ layers, resulting in a polished, lighter texture. A single cup of cooked Minute White Rice provides approximately 170 calories, 4 grams of protein, and less than 1 gram of total fat, while being a source of carbohydrates essential for energy. While lower in fiber and micronutrients compared to whole grain options like brown rice, it is often enriched with added vitamins such as thiamine, niacin, and folic acid to improve nutrient content.
