About Rice half cup
A half-cup of rice is a versatile carbohydrate staple featured prominently in cuisines worldwide, from Asian and Middle Eastern dishes to Latin American and African meals. Typically, white rice is polished and stripped of bran, offering 100–120 calories per serving, primarily from starch. It provides quick energy but lacks significant protein, fiber, or micronutrients compared to its whole-grain counterpart, brown rice. Brown rice, also available as a half-cup serving, contains similar calories but offers more fiber, essential minerals like magnesium, and B vitamins and supports digestive health and sustained energy. Though easy to digest, white rice has a higher glycemic index, potentially impacting blood sugar levels when eaten in excess. Opting for whole-grain varieties boosts nutritional value while balancing meals with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats enhances rice's role in a healthy diet. It’s gluten-free and adaptable for vegetarian, vegan, or omnivore diets alike.
