About One portion of white rice

White rice is a staple grain consumed globally, particularly in Asian, Indian, and Latin American cuisines. Originating from ancient cultivation in Asia, it is a refined version of brown rice, with the bran and germ removed during processing. One portion of white rice is typically low in fat and sodium, offering around 200 calories, 45 grams of carbohydrates, and small amounts of protein. It is a quick source of energy, making it a key ingredient in hearty dishes or as a side. While it lacks significant fiber and micronutrients due to processing, white rice is often enriched with vitamins like folate and iron, boosting its nutritional profile. It pairs well with vegetables and protein-rich foods to create a balanced meal. White rice is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities, though moderation is advised for individuals monitoring blood sugar levels.
