Rice
Rice provides over 50% of the calories consumed by nearly half of the world’s population. Many people would go hungry if they didn’t have rice or something to replace it with. Rice comes in numerous types, including arborio, jasmine, and basmati. Rice has more fiber than processed foods. Fiber has been shown to lower cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. You may find it easier to maintain a healthy weight since fiber makes you feel full. Rice also contains vitamins and minerals that aid in the delivery of oxygen and other critical functions by the blood.
