White Rice

White Rice is a staple grain in many cuisines worldwide, commonly used as a neutral, versatile side or base for dishes. It is known for its fluffy texture when cooked and its use in everything from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean pilafs. Nutritionally, White Rice is primarily a source of carbohydrates with about 79g per 100g, and it provides modest protein but relatively little fiber compared with whole grains; it also supplies small amounts of minerals and B vitamins such as folate and selenium. Because it is a refined white grain, it contributes energy with fewer of the protective plant compounds and fiber found in whole-grain alternatives, though it remains a convenient, easy-to-digest staple in many diets.
