White rice is a versatile grain and staple food originating from Asia, widely used in cuisines across the globe. It is made by milling raw rice to remove the husk, bran, and germ, resulting in a polished, light-colored grain with a mild, neutral flavor. White rice is an easily digestible source of carbohydrates, providing energy and a base for countless dishes, from stir-fries and curries to soups and salads. Nutritionally, white rice is low in fat and sodium but lacks fiber and protein compared to brown rice due to processing. It is often enriched with vitamins like iron and folic acid. While suitable for gluten-free diets and easy on the stomach, white rice has a high glycemic index, which can impact blood sugar levels. Moderation and balanced pairing with proteins and vegetables make it a healthy component of diverse meals.
