Brown Rice vs Quinoa via Type 2 Diabetes

KaiAkoye

Hey I just discovered quinoa's and someone recently had told me that quinoa's are even better with not spiking blood sugars than brown rice. Anybody have any thoughts or experiences regarding that?

They are similar.

They're pretty stinkin' similar...quinoa has slightly more overall nutrition...little more fiber and a little more in the way of amino acids...it's actually a pretty good source of iron...but the GL is pretty similar and I would say differences are pretty immaterial.

everybody's different. White and brown rice both spike my blood sugar, but farro does not and I like the taste better than quinoa. Also having twice as many greens as grains, and some fat, but no meat, keeps my BG steady.
