About Rice half a cup
Rice (half a cup) is a versatile grain that serves as a staple food in various cuisines around the world, including Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern dishes. Half a cup of cooked rice provides approximately 103–121 calories, depending on the type, with white rice being slightly higher in calories compared to brown rice. It contains carbohydrates as the primary macronutrient, offering an easy source of energy, along with trace amounts of protein and minimal fat. Brown rice is richer in fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as manganese and magnesium, making it a healthier choice for heart health and digestion. While rice itself is gluten-free and suitable for most diets, refined white rice has a higher glycemic index, potentially impacting blood sugar levels. Overall, rice can be a nutritious option, especially when paired with vegetables and protein for balanced meals.
