Other than folate and B12, the B vitamins are the most common nutrients, they're not really a point in rice's favor. And other than manganese, the other figures you quote are MUCH higher than the sources I'm looking at. Are you sure you're not looking at enriched rice, or an unusually nutrient-rich strain? Because rice absolutely is the least nutritive staple crop of the ones commonly consumed in the first world.
