Rice is a good source of carbohydrates, the body's main source of energy. Carbs provide fuel for your brain, muscles, and other organs. Brown rice, in particular, is a complex carb, meaning it releases energy slowly, helping you feel fuller for longer.

Brown rice contains fiber, which can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Rice is naturally gluten-free, making it a safe and healthy option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
