What is rice a good source of?!


Question: What is rice a good source of!?
I seem to eating a lot of rice lately, but I have no idea what the benefits are!.

It is commonly known apples and oranges are good sources of Vitamin C, and bananas are high in potassium,

but what about something as inconspicuous as rice!?

Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Although almost all the nutrients are stripped from white rice when the bran layer is removed during milling, ninety percent of all American grown rice is enriched with:
thiamine, niacin and iron and in some instances riboflavin, Vitamin D and Calcium!.
White rice because it is enriched, has more iron and thiamine, than brown rice!.

Now brown rice, on the other hand, has five times more Vitamin E and three times more magnesium!. Brown rice also provides twice as much fiber as white rice!.

So starch is not the only thing found in rice, though I'd opt for brown over white!.!.!.!.!.

Rice is a good source of protein and a staple food in many parts of the world, but it is not a complete protein: it does not contain all of the essential amino acids in sufficient amounts for good health, and should be combined with other sources of protein, such as nuts, seeds, beans or meat!.
