I guess white race is racist? LOL
what is wrong with white rice?I wouldn't advise eating white rice. I would say basmati rice s a good alternative. I love it in Indian food!
That said, if you're eating stir-fry or Chinese food, brown rice works pretty well and seamlessly. I don't eat it by itself, but then again, I never did that with white rice.
It's evil because it's processed more!? I give up on figuring out all the new diet fads and trends....0 -
and I am an astronaut who just got back from Mars....White rice is totally devoid of any nutrients except for starch which rapidly breaks down into sugar in the bloodstream. Brown rice has vitamins, protein, minerals and fiber. Both are fairly high in natural arsenic, brown having more than white. Brown basmati rice may be more appealing in flavor, but it's tough to find.
Why don't you just use other grains? Bulgur wheat, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, barley, oats, etc...there are a lot of choices. Food rotation is good for you too, reducing the chance of developing sensitivities.

You can also eat brown rice like oatmeal: with milk, fruit, and cinnamon, it's pretty darn tasty.0

Ugh. Don't bother. I used to love brown rice, but you know what? It always has bugs in it so I can't eat it anymore. The bugs are tiny, but still. You buy a bag of brown rice and leave it on a shelf for a while, unopened, and then move it around and you can see the evidence. I think these tiny critters lay their eggs under the brown outer layer.
But to people who love and eat brown rice, please feel free to ignore my comments!
I'm pretty sure that's a regional variance. You may want to consider pouring it (or anything that you don't want bugs getting into--I'm surprised they're discerning enough to tell the difference between brown and white rice, or brown rice and flour, or brown rice and sugar) into an airtight container, such as an OXO or even a recycled glass jar.
No, the eggs of these bugs are IN the rice when it's purchased, so pouring it into another container would do nothing. The difference between white and brown rice, as far as the bugs are concerned, is that their place to lay eggs is under the natural coating that is on brown rice and is polished away for white rice.

I happen to LOVE brown rice, but that doesn't matter at all, hmm? Most of the civilized world adores coffee, yet I have never consumed even one whole cup of it, due to my dislike for the taste.
Don't force yourself to eat/drink ANY calories that you don't enjoy. That does not create a happy healthy relationship with food, nor does it set you up to adopt new eating habits or keep them. There's a huge variety of foods out there, and you will lose weight by keeping a caloric deficit no matter what foods you choose.
QFT!

I wouldn't recommenced brown rice to an enemy, let alone a friend. Just eww! You can cook brown rice for a year and it still stays crunchy instead of soft. White rice FTW!
I mostly use brown rice now. I cook it in my rice cooker and it only comes out crunchy if it gets burned. It cooks just as easily for me as white rice. Everyone's taste is different, so just because one person doesn't like it, doesn't mean it's "nasty."
Actually, that's exactly what it means. Just because someone else likes it doesn't mean it isn't "nasty," to me.
Your previous statement was "Brown rice is nasty. Just eat white rice and enjoy" That was a generalized statement.
It's called an opinion! :laugh:

I have found one brand of brown rice (and I've tried quite a few) that I really like. It is called Riceland. I add some salt, along with some chicken bouillon granules.0

I actually eat it cuz I truly love it. Last time I put lime in the water it was boiling in cuz I was making burrito bowls. YUMMY!
but yeah if you hate it there are too many alternatives to even bother forcing it down. Enjoy your food! 0 -
Add olive oil and dill - it's dreamy. I learned that from a Persian friend and love it like that.0
