The fiber supports better digestion and can help you feel satisfied longer\u2014useful when you\u2019re doing 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks. They also provide some protein, and the low sodium (9 mg) is a good base compared with many processed foods. On the other hand, since they\u2019re still a carbohydrate-rich food, portion matters\u2014especially if you already have rice or other starchy sides in the same meal.
