Dry rice, derived from the edible seed of the grass species Oryza sativa, is a global dietary staple with origins tracing back to Asia. Available in varieties such as white, brown, jasmine, and basmati, its neutral flavor and versatility make it integral to countless cuisines, from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean pilafs and Latin American dishes. Nutritionally, rice provides a primary source of carbohydrates for energy. Brown rice contains fiber, essential minerals, and B vitamins, while white rice, although less nutrient-dense, is easier to digest. It’s naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, refined rice varieties can lead to quick spikes in blood sugar if consumed excessively. Pairing rice with proteins and vegetables can balance its glycemic impact. Dry rice is affordable, shelf-stable, and adaptable, making it a practical choice for meals worldwide.
