There is almost no fat content in white rice as long as white rice is cooked without adding oil or butter. While the protein in white rice is 4 grams in one serving. White rice is an excellent source of manganese and B vitamins such asthiamin, niacin and riboflavin.

Rice contains B vitamins, which are water-soluble vitamins. B vitamins are components that support enzymes necessary for metabolism. Vitamin B1 has been reported to have immune system boosting and stress relief effects, and vitamin B2 is essential for the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin. However, rice is by no means rich in vitamins.
