Plain white rice is a staple grain widely consumed across the globe, particularly in Asian, Latin American, and African cuisines. It is made by milling rice to remove the husk, bran, and germ, resulting in its signature white color and light texture. White rice is a good source of easily digestible carbohydrates, making it a quick energy provider. It is naturally gluten-free and low in fat, which adds to its appeal for various dietary needs. However, the refining process reduces its fiber, vitamin, and mineral content when compared to whole-grain rice varieties like brown rice. White rice is often enriched with nutrients such as iron and B vitamins to compensate for the loss during milling. While it pairs well with a wide range of dishes, moderation is key, as its high glycemic index may lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar for some individuals.
