Characteristics of Rice

Properties and Nutritional Values 

Source of Carbohydrates:

Rice is a good energy source due to its high carbohydrate content. It typically contains complex carbohydrates, which allows for slower digestion and helps keep you feeling full longer.

 

Varieties:

- White Rice: This type has had its husk, bran, and germ removed and has a longer shelf life.  

- Brown Rice: Only the husk is removed, leaving the bran and germ layers, making it a more nutritious option.  

- Jasmine and Basmati Rice: These are aromatic, long-grain rice varieties commonly used in special dishes.  

- Arborio Rice: Known for its high starch content, it is used in making risotto due to its creamy texture.
