About Half cup rice
Half Cup Rice is a versatile and widely consumed grain, often featured in cuisines from Asia, Latin America, and the Mediterranean. A standard half-cup serving of cooked rice provides approximately 120-150 calories, depending on the variety. It contains carbohydrates as its primary macronutrient, offering a quick source of energy. White rice is lower in fiber and nutrients compared to brown rice, which retains its bran layer and provides more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. While rice is naturally gluten-free and low in fat, it has a high glycemic index, so moderation is key for those monitoring blood sugar. Pairing rice with protein and vegetables can enhance its nutritional profile. Whether enjoyed as a base for stir-fries, in pilafs, or alongside beans and lean meats, its simplicity and adaptability make it a dietary staple across the globe.
