White rice, a staple grain in many cuisines around the world—such as Asian, Latin American, and African—is made by removing the husk, bran, and germ from whole rice grains before steaming. The result is a soft, fluffy, and neutral-flavored carbohydrate-rich food that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Primary ingredients include only the rice grain and water, though its nutrient profile is more refined compared to brown or whole-grain rice. White rice is low in fat and contains essential minerals like manganese and small amounts of B vitamins. However, the processing removes much of its fiber content, making it less nutrient-dense than its whole-grain counterpart. Despite this, it serves as a quick source of energy and is often fortified with additional vitamins in some countries. Versatile and easily digestible, white rice is a convenient choice but should be eaten in moderation within a balanced diet.
