About Half cup white rice
Half a cup of white rice is a versatile staple in many global cuisines, including Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern traditions. White rice is the result of milling, which removes the husk, bran, and germ from brown rice, giving it a softer texture and shorter cooking time. This portion provides around 100 calories, primarily from carbohydrates, making it a quick source of energy. It is low in fat, cholesterol-free, and gluten-free, making it a safe option for those with dietary restrictions. However, its nutrient profile is less robust than that of whole grains, as key components like fiber, vitamins, and minerals are reduced during processing. While enriched varieties may regain some nutrients, white rice has a high glycemic index, meaning it may raise blood sugar levels quickly. Moderation and pairing with fiber-rich or protein-heavy foods can help balance its effects in a healthy diet.
