The Truth About Rice: Brown vs White (Science)

The conventional wisdom is that brown rice is much healthier than white rice. But is it really true? White rice is more popular, but brown rice contains more nutrients and fiber because it is a whole grain. However, there are also a few problems with brown rice...

White rice makes me bloated and brown rice seems to feel so light in my belly

[vincentninja]

I just like white rice more, my physical activity is so high, the amount I eat is not really a problem. Plus, fiber needs can be covered by eating veggies.

Love the science base analysis on both Rices. Just randomly stumbled upon your Channel. Going to check out a few of the videos but most likely, you got yourself a new subscriber here

You can't go wrong with a big-ass bowl of abuela's black beans and rice.🇨🇺

We had a hard time cooking it, it would turn out hard. The solution I
found is to soak the rice 2-4 hours in advance and then cooking it,
turns out very soft same if not better than jasmine rice texture.

Thank you, appreciate that you use studies and use the results as suggestions rather than making your own statements.

My father had a bad heart. After an examination his doctor told him to switch from white rice to whole grain rice if it was a big part of his diet

I’m fat but the last 2 months I have only been eating brown rice instead of any other grain and I have lost almost 10 lbs already.

I eat rice every day; white rice at lunch, and quality brown rice or red rice at dinner. It suits me just fine. I love brown rice. It may be an acquired taste. Luckily, I caught it a long time ago. I exercise 4X a week, don’t smoke, don’t drink, and eat what I know to be a well balanced diet all the time. So far, so good! 🙂

Thank you for your video sir. I am new(ish!) to cooking rice and I am experimenting with long grain brown rice at the moment suplementing it with a mixture of vegetables. Perhaps the most important part of your message was to have a balanced diet? Psychologically at least I feel healthy but time will tell!
Blessings and peace sir

Nice to hear that commment in the end of the video 3:46.
I cook rice about every 2 weeks so to me it's white white rice. Also I have difficulties to eat brown rice without a heavy sauce and there is a fistful of extra calories.

[sunnygirlyk]

Just as I though: moderation is key. As with most grains, I need to cut down.

[jaden_kys]

I have been eating brown rice my whole life everyday

Thank you so much for this video. My wife got the stupid idea from somewhere that brown rice is just white rice treated to make it fluffy and brown somehow. Hopefully this video will put some sense in her.
