Others may prefer the warm spices of Indian curries.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Rice_Good_or_Bad_for_You\"><\/span><strong>Is Rice Good or Bad for You?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rice is a good source of energy as it&#8217;s rich in carbohydrates.
