White rice is milled to remove the bran and germ, resulting in a milder flavor and softer texture. It's often enriched with B vitamins and iron. A staple food for over half the world's population.
Rinsing removes excess starch for fluffier, less sticky rice. However, if rice is enriched, rinsing may wash away added nutrients. For sushi rice, rinsing is essential for proper texture.
White rice has a higher glycemic index (72-89) than brown rice (50-55). Pairing with protein, vegetables, or fat slows absorption. For diabetics, portion control and meal composition matter more than avoiding rice entirely.
Store dry rice in an airtight container indefinitely at room temperature. Cooked rice keeps 4-6 days refrigerated. Cool quickly and refrigerate within 1 hour to prevent bacterial growth.
