[size=5][color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino][b]Sona Masuri [/b](also knownSona Masoori,Samba Masuri,BPT 5204,HMT, orJeela karra masuri) is a medium-grain[color=#000000]rice[/color]grown largely in the [color=#000000]Indian[/color]states of[color=#000000]Andra Pradesh[/color]and[color=#000000]Karnataka[/color]. [/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]In[color=#000000]Telugu[/color], Sona Masuri rice is called[i]Bangaru Theegalu[/i](meaning Golden Ivy). It is lightweight and aromatic.In Andhra Pradesh, it is mainly cultivated in Guntur, Kurnool, Mahaboobnagar, Nizamabad, Nellore, Warangal and West Godavari Districts. In Karnataka, it is mainly cultivated in Raichur, Koppal and Bellary districts.[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]Reed thin and richly nutty. Strong and impossible to turn to mush, this supreme quality rice is a soulful delight, particularly to those who like their rice with some integrity left when cooked. [/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]The less processed the rice, the less the risk for ailments like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, etc. Sona Masuri is one of the best varieties of rice, after brown rice, as it has less starch content and is easier to digest than its more processed counterparts.[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]Like most varieties of rice, the [color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]Sona Masuri [/font][/color] rice is [color=#000000]fat[/color]-free and a good source or [color=#000000]carbohydrates[/color].[/font][/color][/size]

[size=5][color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino][b]Calories[/b][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]A 45 g, or about 1/4 cup, serving of dry [color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]Sona Masuri [/font][/color]rice contains 160 calories. By comparison, a 45 g serving of uncooked long-grain rice contains 164 calories. [/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino][b]Carbohydrates[/b][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]Most the calories in the [color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]Sona Masuri [/font][/color]rice come from its carbohydrate content. A 45 g serving contains 35 g of carbohydrates. The [color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]Sona Masuri [/font][/color]rice does not contain any fiber. Carbohydrates are an essential nutrient, and should provide most of your caloric intake. They provide your body with energy and promote the proper functioning of your heart, brain, liver and kidneys. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends your diet contain 45 percent to 65 percent of its calories from carbohydrates.[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino][b]Protein[/b][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino][color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]Sona Masuri [/font][/color]rice does provide some protein, with 4 g of protein in a 45 g serving. The protein in the rice does not provide all of the essential amino acids, making it an incomplete source of protein. [/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino][b]Fat and Sodium[/b][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=book antiqua,palatino]Sona Masuri rice is both fat-free and sodium-free. High intakes of both fat and sodium can lead to a greater risk of developing heart disease. A balanced diet should limit fat to 20 percent to 35 percent of calories, with most of that fat coming from the heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in plant oils, nuts, seeds and fatty fish. Sodium intake should be less than 2,300 mg a day, and if you have high blood pressure, you should limit sodium to less than 1,500 mg a day.[/font][/color][/size]
