White rice, a staple food in many cuisines worldwide, is primarily cultivated in Asia but enjoyed globally. Boiled white rice is made from polished grains of rice with the husk, bran, and germ removed, resulting in a mild flavor and fluffy texture. It is commonly found in dishes from Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American cuisines. Nutritionally, boiled white rice is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy for daily activities. It is low in fat, sodium, and cholesterol, making it suitable for heart-healthy diets. However, it has fewer vitamins, minerals, and fiber compared to whole-grain options like brown rice. White rice is also enriched in some regions with essential nutrients such as folic acid and iron. Its high glycemic index means it may cause spikes in blood sugar, so moderation and balanced pairing with protein or fiber-rich foods are recommended for optimal health benefits.
