• 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.

of fat. One half-cup of rice contains about 100 calories.

eaters and eat more like the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans
recommendations.

heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, and aid in weight management.

helps regulate and improve mood.
