Broken rice, a type of fractured rice grain, originates from Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam, where it is a staple in traditional dishes like Cơm Tấm. These smaller grains typically result from milling or processing and have a softer texture when cooked, making them ideal for porridges, steamed dishes, or rice bowls. Nutritionally, broken rice offers the same benefits as regular white rice, including a source of carbohydrates for energy and trace amounts of essential nutrients like B vitamins. However, as with standard white rice, it lacks fiber and significant protein content, making it less nutritious compared to whole grains. Its ability to pair well with protein-rich or fiber-rich side dishes helps balance its nutritional profile, making it a versatile option in meals. In many cultures, broken rice remains an affordable and flavorful choice embraced for its adaptability in diverse recipes.
