White rice, a staple in many cuisines worldwide, is made by milling rice to remove its husk, bran, and germ, leaving behind the starchy endosperm. Commonly boiled or steamed, it has a mild flavor and a fluffy texture, making it versatile for dishes in Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Western cooking. White rice primarily consists of carbohydrates, with small amounts of protein and minimal fat. It’s enriched with nutrients like iron and B vitamins in many countries to offset the loss of natural fiber and nutrients during processing. While it’s easy to digest and provides quick energy, white rice is lower in fiber compared to its whole-grain counterpart, brown rice, which may impact blood sugar levels if consumed in excess. Pairing it with high-fiber vegetables, lean proteins, or healthy fats can enhance its nutritional value and create a more balanced meal.
