Arroz Branco, or white rice, is a staple food in numerous cuisines worldwide, particularly prominent in Asian, Latin American, and African diets. Made by milling raw rice to remove the husk, bran, and germ, it has a lighter texture and quicker cooking time compared to brown rice. While it provides essential carbohydrates for energy, white rice is lower in fiber, vitamins, and minerals due to the removal of the outer layers during processing. It is often enriched with nutrients like iron and folic acid to improve its health profile. White rice is gluten-free and easy to digest, making it suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions or sensitive stomachs. However, its high glycemic index may not be ideal for those managing blood sugar levels or diabetes. As a versatile base, arroz branco pairs well with vegetables, protein, and sauces for balanced meals.
