Medium-Grain Rice
Medium-Grain Rice is a staple grain used across many cuisines worldwide, prized for its neutral flavor and ability to pair with savory, sweet and spiced dishes. It is primarily a carbohydrate source but also supplies modest amounts of protein — about 7.1g per 100g — and is available in many varieties (short, medium, long, glutinous, broken and colored rices). Nutritionally it is low in fat, relatively low in fiber and micronutrients compared with whole grains; choosing wholegrain or alternative grains can boost fiber and mineral intake. While rice provides a usable protein complement in mixed meals, it contributes few protective plant compounds on its own, so combining it with vegetables, legumes or nutrient-dense sides improves the overall nutritional profile.
