White Rice: An Underrated Carbohydrate

White rice often gets a bad reputation, but it can be part of a balanced meal, especially when combined with vegetables and proteins.

Smart Ways to Eat White Rice

• Serve in Moderation: Keep portion sizes around ½ to 1 cup cooked.
• Use Cold for Salads: Cold white rice in salads promotes resistant starch.
• Pair with Nutrient-Dense Foods: Mix with vegetables, lean meats, eggs, or seafood.
• Choose Whole Grain or Brown Rice When Possible: For added fiber, but don’t eliminate white rice entirely.
