    So is it not correct that white rice turns directly to sugar??? i thought that is a bad thing but from what iv been hearing i think i was misinformed???
    All rice will be broken down into sugar in the body. Same with all carbs. The body takes all macros and breaks them down to their simplest forms to be absorbed.

    No food is evil. All things in moderation. White rice tastes better.

    BLACK RICE FTW

    Also, whole rices (unprocessed ones like brown, black, red, etc.) have more fiber, protein, and potassium because of the bran. And FYI, wild rice is a vegetable (it's a grass, not a grain - grains are seeds).

    Gosh everyone is so picky. So, to join in, isn't wild rice a grass seed? Though it may not be the common usage of the word, technically every edible part of a plant is a vegetable, which would include rice.

    Taste the black rice and see how much better it is than brown or white rice. Huge difference, IMO.

    I have tasted it. I have some in my lunch box waiting to be eaten, in fact. I don't think it tastes a whole lot different than brown. I eat both. Not sure what that has to do with wild rice being a grass seed, though.

    I use the Success boil in bag brown rice - stick the bag in water and microwave for 10 minutes. Works great every time! I have trouble cooking brown rice on the stove for some reason.

    I submit that wild rice is the best, takes a lot longer to cook though (but its worth it).

    I sometimes cook black rice and add it to white rice, looks and tastes lovely. I think the black rice would be a bit chewy on its own?

    Wasn't being picky, just misinformed. You were right, it's the grain of the grass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_rice
