About Half cup basmati rice

Half a cup of basmati rice, a long-grain variety originating from South Asia, offers a fragrant and flavorful addition to meals. Known for its light, fluffy texture and slightly nutty taste, basmati rice is a staple in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. This serving provides approximately 90 calories, 2 grams of protein, and 20 grams of carbohydrates, making it a useful energy source. It is naturally gluten-free and low in fat, catering to various dietary needs. While white basmati is more refined, brown basmati retains its outer bran layer, offering extra fiber and nutrients. However, it’s important to moderate portion sizes, as basmati rice contains fewer vitamins and minerals compared to whole grains. Often paired with lean proteins, vegetables, or curries, it delivers a balanced complement to diverse meals.
