What it is

Enriched long grain rice is white rice that has had certain nutrients added back after processing. The milling process removes the bran and germ, which contain natural vitamins and minerals. Enrichment adds back thiamin, niacin, folic acid, and iron.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add enrichment to rice to help people get important nutrients. It is commonly found in packaged rice products, rice mixes, and as a side dish. It is also used in prepared meals and entrees.

Health notes

Enriched rice is a common food staple in the US. The added nutrients contribute to meeting daily requirements for iron and B vitamins. Regulatory bodies like the FDA have reviewed enrichment practices. JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated iron and folic acid, setting acceptable intake levels. No significant health concerns are associated with the typical consumption of enriched rice.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
