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.
