Restaurants of all types are responding to customers’ desires with more options in portion sizes, preparation methods and menu items:

The Health Benefits and Culinary Uses of Rice
A food staple for nearly half the world population, rice is embedded in the cuisines of many cultures. The Chinese word for "meal" literally translates to "eat rice."
All rice varieties contain carbohydrates, protein, trace amounts of fat and sodium, and are gluten free. Whole-grain rice contains more protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals than white rice, and colored varieties boast more antioxidants. While whole-grain rice is preferred for its inherently better nutrition profile, the nutrients added to enriched white rice — niacin, thiamin, folic acid and iron — are important to the diet, too.
