About Raw rice quarter cup

Raw rice, measured at a quarter cup (approximately 43 grams), is a versatile staple prominent in cuisines worldwide, including Asian, African, and Latin American dishes. This serving size yields about 160 calories when cooked, depending on the variety. Typically composed of carbohydrates (mostly starch), it provides a quick energy source. Raw rice contains minimal fat, no cholesterol, and is naturally sodium-free, making it a heart-healthy choice. It also contains small amounts of protein, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. While white rice is more processed and lower in fiber, brown or whole-grain rice retains the bran and germ, offering more fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients. Pairing rice with proteins or vegetables can balance meals nutritionally. However, consuming large portions without adequate fiber or protein may lead to blood sugar spikes. For better health benefits, consider opting for unrefined rice varieties and combining them with nutrient-rich foods.
