Rice is a grain.
It is primarily carbohydrates, but does have some protein as well (typically 4-7g per serving compared to 35-45g of carbs).

Rice is considered a carbohydrate but does have some protein in it. For every 1/2 cup, you get about 3 grams of protein.

Rice is more carbs. But, it does have protein in it. These are incomplete proteins and are different than complete proteins provided by animal products. Rice and beans together provide the components of complete proteins, though, which is why it is a common mix.

rice is a grain. the bioavailablity of proteins from non-animal sources is very low on average about 50%.

Grains are incomplete proteins. You need others (either grain or veggie) to complete the protein.
Check a nutrition site to see which completes rice best
