Benefits

Not going to lie, I eat rice quite regularly as it's so versatile. If you aren't aware, rice is a nutrient dense staple that has been a part of diets around the world for centuries. It can be steamed, boiled or fried and is a reliable and comforting source of energy. In many Asian cultures rice is the base of the meal and is paired with nutrient dense dishes like stir fries, curries and sushi. In Latin American cuisine it’s a key ingredient in dishes like arroz con pollo and paella and in Africa it’s often served with stews and grilled proteins. As a source of complex carbs rice is a sustainable energy and a symbol of nourishment that brings people together around the table. Here’s a few benefits:
  1. Nutrient dense: Rice is a source of carbs, protein, vitamins and minerals. It gives the body energy and overall health.
  2. Easy to digest: Rice is easy to digest and can help soothe the digestive system. It’s recommended for people with digestive issues like diarrhea or indigestion.
  3. Low fat and cholesterol: Rice is low fat and cholesterol free food, good for those who want to maintain a balanced diet and reduce the risk of heart disease.
  4. Gluten free: Rice is gluten free, good for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
  5. Weight management: Rice can help with weight management as it’s filling and can keep you full for longer. Good for those who want to maintain weight or lose weight.
