Rice is a cereal grain, which belongs to the grass species oryza sativa and oryza glaberrima. The grain comes in more than 40,000 varieties with different shapes, sizes, texture, aroma, and colors. Most varieties contain a high amount of carbohydrates and protein. The fiber content varies according to the types. For example brown rice has more fiber than the white rice, so it is a healthy option.
The health benefits of rice include its ability to provide instant energy, regulate and improve the bowel movements, stabilize blood sugar levels, and slow down the aging process, and also plays a role in providing vitamin B1 to the human body.

It is believe that such insoluble fibers are vital for protecting the body against the development and metastasis of cancerous cells. The fiber is beneficial in defending against colorectal and intestinal cancer. Besides the fiber, it also has natural antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin A, and phenolic and flavonoid compounds, which help sour free radicals from the body.
