Rice is the primary dietary staple for more than half the world’s population. It is the most popular grain globally, supplying energy, complex carbohydrates, protein, fiber, essential vitamins and minerals and beneficial antioxidants. Rice is the foundation for healthy eating.

At just 10 cents per serving, rice is easy to prepare and pairs well with fruits, vegetables, lean meats, seafood and beans and fits any global cuisine.

Choose the right rice for your meal:

  • Long grain white and brown rice are perfect for pilafs, salads, casseroles, stir-fry and Southern favorites like jambalaya and gumbo.
  • Short and medium grain rice are perfect for dishes that have a creamier characteristic — such as risotto, rice puddings, as well as sushi and other Asian dishes.

Discover the endless possibilities and liven up your next meal with U.S.-grown rice!
