White rice is a staple grain widely consumed across the globe, particularly in Asian, African, and Latin American cuisines. Processed to remove its husk, bran, and germ, white rice has a soft texture and mild flavor, making it a versatile base for countless dishes. Nutritionally, it primarily provides carbohydrates, serving as a quick source of energy. It is low in fat and an easily digestible choice, suitable for sensitive stomachs. While enriched varieties may contain additional vitamins like B6 and iron, white rice has fewer nutrients and less fiber compared to whole grains like brown rice. Overconsumption may lead to blood sugar spikes, making moderation important, especially for those with diabetes. Despite this, its simplicity and adaptability have made it a central part of traditional diets worldwide.
