Tastier and healthier, certainly than white rice.
Re: Rice: white or brown?
and within the next 20 years you might understand that eating any kind of rice as any carbs is totally useless and even dangerous, as you are just adding useless sugar to your diet.
But don't expect many people here to know it and confirm.

Re: Rice: white or brown?
Agree. White rice is just brown rice with the outer layer intact- the reason why it is “healthy” is because the body can’t easily dissolve that outer layer, thus can’t absorb most of the nutrients within. Nothing to do with calories, your body simply can’t digest it properly.
On the flip side- brown rice tastes waaaaay better in my opinion, I’ll go for “bai grahom” whenever it’s available.
But to echo another earlier post- basmati rice cannot be topped. Actually, Indian food can’t be topped. And that’s coming from a Rosbif!

Re: Rice: white or brown?
White rice just tastes like the water it was boiled in. There is very very little nutritional value in white rice. Brown rice on the other hand not only has the fibrous husk which is not only good for digestion, it gives it flavour. The flavour depends on the type of brown rice brown rice .
I personally never eat white rice.

Re: Rice: white or brown?
I like the texture of brown rice, but usually eat white, because it's more available/habit.
I came across some articles about arsenic in rice, and they suggest here that eating too much rice is bad for kids due to the natural arsenic content. Not something that ever occurred to me before. In that case, are Asian kids getting an arsenic overload ?

https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/mag ... /index.htmHow Much Arsenic Is in Your Rice?
In late 2012 we released our original report on arsenic in rice, in which we found measurable levels in almost all of the 60 rice varieties and rice products we tested.
Our most recent testing and analysis gave us some new information on the risk of arsenic exposure in infants and children through rice cereal and other rice products. We looked at data released by the Food and Drug Administration in 2013 on the inorganic arsenic content of 656 processed rice-containing products. We found that rice cereal and rice pasta can have much more inorganic arsenic—a carcinogen—than our 2012 data showed. According to the results of our new tests, one serving of either could put kids over the maximum amount of rice we recommend they should have in a week. Rice cakes supply close to a child's weekly limit in one serving. Rice drinks can also be high in arsenic, and children younger than 5 shouldn’t drink them instead of milk. (Learn the new rice rules about weekly servings.)

Re: Rice: white or brown?
why is this not on the list?
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
Re: Rice: white or brown?
People still eat rice?
Re: Rice: white or brown?
Brown rice has much more arsenic. Par boil rice, discard water- add fresh water and continue cooking. This removes a great deal of the arsenic.

Re: Rice: white or brown?
exactly
animal feed
but then, just 'process' it
soak it overnight (maybe with one of those iron fish) so it starts to sprout
giving you 'gaba' brown rice
throw the water away, along with the arsenic
what's 'red' rice?
