White rice with gravy is a simple yet satisfying dish often found in Southern U.S. cuisine and other comfort food traditions. This dish typically features fluffy, steamed white rice paired with a rich, savory gravy made from meat drippings, broth, or stock, thickened with flour or cornstarch and seasoned with herbs and spices. While white rice provides a quick source of energy and is low in fat, it is generally less nutrient-dense than whole grains like brown rice, as the bran and germ are removed during processing. The gravy, depending on its preparation, can be high in sodium and saturated fats, particularly if made with butter or cream. To enhance its nutritional profile, consider using a low-sodium broth, incorporating vegetables into the gravy, or opting for whole-grain rice. Despite its simplicity, this classic pairing is beloved for its comforting flavors and versatility.
