Brown or White Rice? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating4 months ago

I used to always buy white rice. Then I kept reading about how much better brown rice is for us. So the past year or so I have been buying brown rice. No one seems to mind and the kids eat it. Do you have a preference over brown or white rice?

I like them both and I think they are equally good for you. They might have their different benefits...it will be interesting to see if someone here has details on this rice issue!

Well the thing about white rice is that it's bleached to be white. so that makes it unhealthy as opposed to brown rice which is naturally brown. Same thing with the white bleached flower versus the unbleached one, and white sugar vs.the slightly brown sugar.


myLot reputation of 91/100. TheGypsyDad (184)   ranked 3,067 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

Ah yes I've heard that too, same as white sugar. Seems like the big manufacturers like to use chlorine or something.

I think you're right about them having different benefits.

I have always liked brown rice better myself. It has a better flavor then plain white rice. I have heard that it is heathier then white rice also.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

I like the taste of both.

Well I usually eat white rice. It's just that it's what my mom buys. And I've had brown rice a few times, it tastes pretty good. But what I really like is the wild rice.=] It's really yummy and also natural and healthy.=D


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

I don't know why but I never seem to buy wild rice. I do get it a lot when we eat out at retaurants though. It's a nice change.

Yes brown rice is always preferable as it has all the nutrients and digestible fiber, while these are 'Polished' off in white rice. After polishing, rice is a source of starch only.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

You're right about that. White rice is very starchy.

I have tried brown rice several times and hated the flavor every time, too "nutty" for me, I don't like nuts


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

My kids didn't like it much either when I first started cooking it. Then they got used to it.

No I like them both the same. I can't ever tell the difference unless of course I have it served to me plain and see the color.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

Good, now you have two healthy options.

I like brown rice, but we do not eat rice very often. I have found that they even make an instant brown rice. I would eat more rice if more people in my house like it. We mostly eat potatoes.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

That can be a problem when nobody else likes it. Maybe if you keep serving it then eventually they will like it.

I like white rice because it makes the food stand out more if it has a white background. Brown rice has its own taste and I never acquired the flavor. White for me.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

The white rice does make everything look prettier.

Brown rice is good but white rice tastes better. So most of us prefer this. Once you start liking brown rice then there is no problem.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

I have to agree. The white rice does taste a bit better. I still cook the brown though.

I really like rice, so it doesn't matter if it's white or brown. Of course, brown healthier. I like to make my rice with vegetables.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2771)   ranked 17 out of 5,438 in eating  4 months ago

Good idea. Rice with vegetables very yummy.
