About Rice and corn
Rice and corn are versatile staples found in cuisines across the globe, with origins in Asia and the Americas, respectively. Rice is rich in carbohydrates, providing a quick source of energy, while corn offers dietary fiber, vitamins like B6, and essential minerals such as magnesium. Both are naturally gluten-free, making them excellent options for those with gluten sensitivities. White rice is milled to remove the outer bran, leaving a softer texture but fewer nutrients compared to brown rice. Corn, whether fresh, dried, or ground into flour, is a good source of antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, beneficial for eye health. However, highly processed versions of both, such as instant rice or corn-based snacks, may contain added sugars, sodium, and fewer nutrients. When prepared minimally, rice and corn can form the base for balanced, nutrient-dense meals in many traditional dishes, from stir-fries to tortillas.
