Calories in Rice, white, long grain, unenriched
The grain that feeds half the planet — and the reason "enriched" is on the label
What makes rice so powerful?
Rice is the staple calorie source for more than half the world's population, more than any other single crop. White rice is simply brown rice with the bran and germ polished away, a process that extends shelf life and speeds cooking but strips out fiber and B vitamins with it. That stripping caused a real public health crisis in the early 1900s called beriberi, a disease caused by thiamine (B1) deficiency in populations eating heavily polished rice — which is exactly why most white rice sold today is "enriched," with thiamine, niacin, iron, and folic acid added back in after milling.
Rinse rice before cooking to remove surface starch for fluffier grains, unless you want stickier sushi rice. Cooling cooked rice in the fridge for several hours before reheating increases its resistant starch content, which can modestly lower the calories your body actually absorbs.
