Rice is the easiest of the staples to digest, in hot tropical climates, rice keeps the body cool, un-polished brown rice is the best source of nutrients as well. Of course as Twitchkitty points out, it also causes least amount of flatulence as compared to other grains. Sadly for centuries, rice eaters were made fun of, it was a foolish and uneducated perception that rice was less nutritious for the body, this attitude still prevails unfortunately in many places across the globe, wheat eaters predominantly look down on rice eaters.
