Uncooked rice is a staple grain in global cuisine, originating from Asia but widely grown and consumed across the world. Its two main varieties, white and brown, differ in nutritional content and processing. White rice is milled and polished, removing the bran and germ, while brown rice retains these layers, making it richer in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Both types are primarily composed of carbohydrates, offering a quick energy source. Rice is naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and cholesterol-free, making it a versatile option for diverse diets. Brown rice provides additional health benefits due to its higher protein and fiber content, which support digestion and maintain energy levels. However, white rice has a higher glycemic index, which may impact blood sugar levels if consumed in excess. Uncooked rice can be stored for long periods, making it a convenient and essential ingredient in cuisines such as Indian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American dishes.
