We've not wasted our time with any kind of white rice in years...


Why is white rice wasting your time?

No nutritional value, or not as much as whole grain rice.

Pure starch, not worth the calories.

And not nearly as much flavor or texture. ;-)

It isn't really accurate to say that white rice has no value. It does,
just not as high as brown.
This page shows some of the nutrients in rice comparing them by each
element. http://www.rebeccablood.net/domestic/rice.html

Brown has much more phosphorus and fiber but other than that they are
pretty equal. As far as carbs white has 82, brown has 78, Jasmine has 81
and glutinous has 81 per 100 grams. That's not much difference either.
There are many peoples around the world that have lived very well
including white rice in their diets. But it's not the only thing they
eat. As part of a good diet it is not a problem to eat whichever rice
one likes best.

We like red rice best, followed by brown, then black.

We also think that white rice is not nearly as flavorful.
It's not bad, but it's just not the same...

The increase in fiber content really lowers the GI value as well!
I'm actually more interested in that than total net carbs.
