Did You Know?

Rice is the primary dietary staple for more than half of the world’s population.

U.S. grown rice is the standard for excellence and accounts for nearly 88% of the rice consumed in America. It is grown and harvested by local farmers in five south-central states and California.

Rice contains no sodium, cholesterol, trans fats or gluten, and has only a trace of fat. One half-cup of rice contains about 100 calories.

Research shows that people who eat rice have healthier diets than non-rice eaters and eat more like the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations.

Whole grains like brown rice help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, and aid in weight management.

Brown rice is a 100% whole grain. One cup of whole grain brown rice provides two of the three recommended daily servings of whole grains.

Eating rice triggers the production of serotonin in the brain, a chemical that helps regulate and improve mood.

September is National Rice Month - promoting awareness of the versatility and the value of U.S. grown rice.
