What it is

Cooked white rice is made by boiling white rice grains in water until they are tender. White rice is a staple food made from the grain of the rice plant (Oryza sativa). It is a carbohydrate-rich food that provides energy.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cooked white rice as a base or filler in a wide variety of prepared foods. It is common in frozen dinners, ready-made meals, and side dishes, providing bulk and absorbing flavors.

Health notes

Cooked white rice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a primary source of carbohydrates and can contribute to energy intake. The World Health Organization (WHO) has evaluated rice and its components, but specific health claims related to typical consumption levels are complex and depend on overall diet. Evidence on the health impacts of white rice consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting a link to increased risk of type 2 diabetes when consumed in large amounts as part of an unbalanced diet, while others focus on its role as an energy source.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
