Product Description
Rice is an ancient and popular staple food, the main source of nourishment for over half of the world's population. Jasmine rice originally comes from Thailand. White rice is not a different variety, it only differs from brown rice in that during processing, the bran and germ are removed. By reducing the fat content of the rice grains, the resulting product has a longer shelf life as it does not become rancid.
Importance, impacts:
White rice mainly contains carbohydrates in the form of starch, which is a valuable source of energy. It is easily digestible, so for example after a stomach upset, it is advisable to start nourishing with lightly cooked white rice with few spices. It has a high glycemic index, so in case of diabetes and insulin resistance, or during a weight loss diet, brown rice is rather recommended.
Usage:
Rinse thoroughly before cooking. Cook in twice the amount of water, for about 7-10 minutes. Can be enjoyed as a side dish, in casseroles, risottos, as well as in salads, stuffed dishes, layered dishes, as a soup ingredient, and also suitable for making desserts.
