What is this food?
Undermilled red rice (red/brownish rice). It’s a starchy staple food mainly made of carbohydrates, with some fiber and small amounts of fat.
Why it matters to health
Red rice can help you feel full longer because it has dietary fiber (4.6 g per 100 g). Fiber also supports healthy digestion. It’s also a good source of energy for your daily meals. In this serving, it has 80 g carbohydrates, so it’s best paired with protein and vegetables to balance your plate. The fat is low (0.9 g) and saturated fat is small (0.07 g), and sodium is very low (2 mg), which is good for everyday eating. Since it’s still a rice (carb-heavy), portion size matters—especially if you’re having rice at multiple meals.
Healthier tips
- Use the “1 cup cooked rice + ulam” approach: aim for about 1/2 to 1 cup cooked rice per meal, depending on your hunger and activity.
- Build a balanced plate: add 1 palm of protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) and 2 fists of vegetables (sautéed, ginisa, or fresh).
- For better fullness, include fiber-rich sides like monggo, beans, or gulay.
- If you snack, choose lighter options (fruit, yogurt, nuts in small portions) so you don’t stack too many carbs in the day.
- Try cooking methods that keep it less oily (less added oil in arroz caldo, sinangag, or fried rice).
