Rice, a staple food for more than half the people in the world, is beneficial for a
number of reasons. First, it is a highly nutritious cereal grain. As an important
source of carbohydrates, supplying the body with energy, rice also contains some
protein, B vitamins, and minerals. Its fat content is negligible, and therefore,
considered a desirable food source for those on a restricted diet. In addition, rice is
beneficial to the food industry in the preparation of processed foods. For example,
it is one of the important ingredients used in breakfast cereals and snack foods.
Furthermore, the beverage industry uses rice to make beer and sake.
