Rice with gravy is a comforting dish enjoyed across various cuisines, particularly in Southern American cooking. It typically consists of fluffy white or brown rice paired with a savory gravy made from meat drippings, broth, flour, and seasonings. Some variations include added vegetables, herbs, or spices to enhance flavor and nutrition. Rice serves as a hearty source of carbohydrates, providing energy, while brown rice adds fiber and essential nutrients. The gravy can be rich in flavor but often contains fats and sodium, depending on preparation methods. Healthier versions may use lean meat, low-sodium broth, or plant-based gravies to reduce saturated fat and salt content. While it’s a satisfying and versatile dish, moderation is key to managing its calorie density and nutritional balance, especially for those watching their fat or sodium intake.
