Half a cup of uncooked rice is a versatile staple found in cuisines worldwide, from Asian stir-fries to Latin American dishes. This portion typically yields about one cup of cooked rice, depending on the variety. Rice is a good source of carbohydrates, offering energy and serving as a neutral base for countless flavors. Varieties like white rice are refined, while whole-grain options like brown or wild rice retain more nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Brown rice is particularly high in magnesium, selenium, and antioxidants that support heart and digestive health. While rice is naturally gluten-free and low in fat, it can be high on the glycemic index, which affects blood sugar levels. Pairing rice with protein and vegetables helps balance its nutritional profile. Popular in recipes worldwide, rice is an accessible and adaptable component of a healthy diet when eaten in moderation.
