Accordingly Rice, a staple food for billions worldwide, is more than just a grain. It’s a symbol of sustenance, culture, and culinary diversity. In almost every corner of Asia, the dominance of rice over other grains explains its importance in the Asian market. From the fragrant basmati of india to the sticky rice of Thailand, rice has played a pivotal role in defining cuisines. With its neutral flavour and ability to absorb flavours, rice has also been a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in countless dishes, from simple fried rice or idli and dosa batter to rice-based sweets like payesh or elaborate sushi.
Perhaps although white rice is processed, it is enriched with added nutrients. The low fibre content in rice may help with digestive issues. When an individual doesn’t consume rice for a month, there is a chance of weight loss due to the lack of calories in the body. Moreover, the level of sugar in the blood will also be under control because carbohydrates are not consumed.
Moreover Dr Manjari Chandra Consultant, Dietetics, Max Hospital Gurugra said, “As long as rice is consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, most people are thought to be safe when eating it more than once a day. But you should also think about the kind of rice you eat, how much you eat, and how well your meals are balanced nutritionally. Eating rice several times a day might not be the best option for those attempting to control their weight or for those with specific health issues like diabetes.”
