Rice is the staple food of most Asian countries such as China, India, Malaysia, and Thailand. It is the second highest yield of grain in the world after maize and can grow almost anywhere, even on the slopes of the mountain.
Rice is an excellent source of energy because of its high content of starch. It is also low in fat and cholesterol, easily digested, and contains a variety of important nutrients including protein, vitamin B, E, and potassium.
Although there are many types of rice, only three; long-grain, short-grain glutinous, and usually consumed. Long grain of the most popular and commonly used for fried rice. Short grain starchier, but soft and creamy when cooked. Glutinous rice is mainly used for loading and desserts.
