About Jaapanese rice

Japanese rice, known for its short-grain variety, is a staple in Japanese cuisine and valued for its pearly appearance and sticky texture when cooked. Rich in carbohydrates, it serves as an excellent energy source, making it a cornerstone in dishes like sushi, onigiri, and donburi. This versatile grain is low in fat and cholesterol-free, and it also provides essential nutrients like magnesium, selenium, and a small amount of protein. White rice is most commonly used, though brown rice offers higher fiber content for improved digestion. While its carbohydrate content is significant, portion control is key to maintaining balanced blood sugar levels. Japanese rice’s mild flavor and nourishing properties make it a foundational ingredient in traditional meals, blending healthful qualities with cultural heritage.
