Cooked white rice is a staple grain derived from milled rice, where the husk, bran, and germ are removed. This process gives it a soft texture and neutral flavor, making it a versatile base in global cuisines, from Asian stir-fries to Latin American dishes. White rice primarily provides carbohydrates, offering a quick source of energy, along with small amounts of protein and minimal fat. It is lower in fiber and micronutrients compared to its brown rice counterpart due to refinement, but often fortified with vitamins like folic acid and iron. While it's easily digestible and gluten-free, excessive consumption may contribute to blood sugar spikes due to its high glycemic index. When balanced with nutrient-dense foods, such as vegetables and protein, white rice serves as an adaptable and accessible component in meals across cultures.
