white v brown

[ozzy69]

someone argue the benefits of the different rices for me--i have switched back to white and dont think im gonna go back to brown unless the wifey makes me

I always argue with people about this with people...I always eat brown rice cuz its a complex carb and white rice is more of a high GI faster digesting carb much like the difference between white and whole wheat bread....

I'm the same as clutch. I take wheat over white bread when I can..

Bulk=white, cut=brown

Agreed but overall I don't think it makes much difference as long as you eat 1/2 cup fibre one cereal a day.

ive been thinking about changing what i eat--and suggestions on what brands to buy of those??

long grain white rice actually has a lower GI value compare to brown (~40 vs 55). And there's no comparison in taste, brown is like cardboard. Uncle Ben's converted white has the lowest GI of all of them, around 35.

Whatever you choose, throw some kidney beans in with it to lower the overall meal GI value.

I dunno brands, go to an Asian store for jasmine and indian or middle eastern for basmati, sold in large bags. Reg stores rip u off.

I just checked that fact and you are right, I was almost certain that white rice always had higher GI than brown, however still I am looking at things from getting full perspective. Maybe due to its taste, or texture, white rice makes me want to eat a whole lot more than brown rice. I guess if I could eat the same portions on both I would choose white over brown.

All white rice is very high gi...empty calories, just starch. You can eat more right away because it digests quickly and is converted to blood sugar to be used for energy and/or stored as fat. I try never to eat anything devoid of nutrition, and white rice may even be worse than white bread in this respect.

Whole grain rice has protein and fiber, not just the strach. Not all brown rice is "whole grain."

I have tried just about every type of rice on the market, and once I found Lundberg's Wehani and Japonica I never used any other brand. These smell just like popcorn when they're cooking, and are 100% whole grain rice with the bran and germ layers intact. The flavor is so rich, you can enjoy eating this rice all by itself. I cook one pack with 5 cups water and store it in the fridge in a large tupperware container. I am never without it. These cost about $3.75 for a 16 oz pack at your healthfood store. It's worth making a special trip.

Some grocery stores like Kroger may handle a wehani whole grain rice, but nothing is as good as Lundberg's.
